This part of IEC 60115 is applicable to fixed power resistors for use in electronic equipment.  
This standard relates to resistors having a rated dissipation typically greater than 1W up to and including 1000W for use in
electronic equipment. This standard is applicable to fixed power resistors with a maximum surface temperature (MET)
higher than the preferred upper category temperature (UCT) of 200°C.  
These resistors are typically described according to types (different geometric shapes) and styles (different dimensions)
and product technology.  
The resistive element of these resistors is typically  
- protected by a conformal lacquer coating or  
- cement coating or  
- vitreous enamel or  
- a ceramic body or  
- any other housing, which is to be described in the relevant specification.  
The electrical connection of these resistors is typically achieved by means of  
- lead wire terminations or  
- punched terminals or lug terminals or  
- push on terminals or  
- screw terminals or  
- any other termination, which is to be described in the relevant specification  
In special cases, a heat sink may be applicable but not mandatory.  
The object of this standard is to prescribe preferred ratings and characteristics and to select from IEC 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.

IEC 61169-1-3:2026 is applicable to built-in devices (hereinafter referred to as "SPD" - surge protective device) or surge protection of telecommunications and signalling networks against indirect and direct effects of lightning or other transient over voltages.
An SPD is intended to protect the electrical apparatus from transient over voltages and to divert surge currents.
The SPD built in the coaxial connector can be a gas discharge tube type, a ¼ wavelength short stub type, a flash-off gap type, and a hybrid type thereof.
The purpose of these built-in SPD is to protect modern electronic equipment connected to telecommunications and signalling networks with nominal system voltages up to 1 000 V (RMS) AC and 1 500 V DC.

IEC TS 62876-3-2:2026 which is a Technical Specification, establishes a standardized method to determine
• volume fraction
for graphene by
• ellipsometry.
Thickness/composition measurements are evaluated by ellipsometry before and after the stability test. By model calculation, the volume fraction of graphene can be evaluated. Since the test method is non‑destructive, it can be used to assess the reliability and durability of graphene films on production lines.
• For graphene-capped copper for Cu interconnects in a semiconductor engineering, for example, the reliability and durability of the capping layer are evaluated.
• Gas sensors, gas barriers, transparent electrodes for solar cells, etc. are being researched and developed.
• This method is useful for non-destructive and quantitative evaluation of the volume fraction of graphene to assess the reliability and durability.

IEC 61439-8:2026 specifies requirements for the design and verification of low voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies for use in photovoltaic installations. PVAs have the following characteristics: - assemblies used for the combination of electrical energy in DC systems for which the input and output voltage does not exceed 1 500 V DC; - assemblies supplied from an AC network where the voltage does not exceed 1 000 V AC for auxiliary and control purposes; - stationary assemblies with an enclosure; - assemblies intended for operation by authorised persons (see IEC 61439 1:2020, 3.7.17), but can be located in an area accessible to ordinary persons (see IEC 61439 1:2020, 3.7.16); - suitable for indoor or outdoor installation. This document identifies definitions, specifies the service conditions, details the construction requirements, defines the technical characteristics, and provides verifications for PVAs.

IEC 63497:2026, which is a product standard, is intended to specify the EMC, performance and safety requirements of shunt-connected active correction devices (ACD) with rated system voltages not exceeding 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC. These devices can be either cord or permanently connected. They can be movable, stationary, or fixed devices. An ACD includes both a static VAR generator (SVG) and an active harmonic filter (AHF). The primary function of a shunt connected ACD is to do one or more of the following: - active harmonic filtering; - reactive power compensation; - unbalanced load compensation. Additional functions of a shunt-connected ACD, not addressed by this document, can be the following: - flicker compensation; - interharmonic component filtering. In case of hybrid devices, combining a passive harmonic filter and an ACD, this document covers only the active part. This document does not cover - active mitigation functions part of another device (variable speed drive, uninterruptible power supply, dynamic voltage restorer, etc.), - switched power capacitors, - switched inductors, - passive harmonic filters, - energy storage converters, and - series-connected active correction devices.
