scope:

This part of EN 60115 is applicable to fixed surface mount resistors for use in electronic equipment.

These resistors are typically described according to types (different geometric shapes) and styles (different dimensions). They have metallized terminations and are primarily intended to be mounted directly on to a circuit board.

Object

The object of this standard is to prescribe preferred ratings and characteristics and to select from EN 60115-1, the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods and to give general performance requirements for this type of resistor.

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.
