scope:

This standard is applicable to fixed film resistor networks. The resistor elements may be individually isolated or interconnected in any circuit configuration. The object of this standard is to prescribe preferred ratings and characteristics and to select from IEC Publication 1045-1, appropriate Capability Approval procedures, tests- and measuring methods and to give performance requirements for this type of resistor networks. The concept of preferred values is directly applicable to cataloque products but does not necessarily apply to custom built products. Test severities and requirements prescribed in detail specifications referring to this sectional specification shall be of equal or higher performance level, because lower performance levels are not permitted.
