General Information

Overview
EN IEC 62391-1:2022 (CLC adoption of IEC 62391-1:2022) is the Part 1 generic specification for fixed electric double‑layer capacitors (EDLCs, commonly called supercapacitors) intended for DC circuits in electric and electronic equipment. It defines standard terms, inspection procedures and test methods used in sectional and detail specifications for quality assessment, type approval and procurement. This edition was restructured to follow the ISO/IEC Directives, introduced a new technical categorization of test methods, and updated Annex D to separate charging/discharging efficiency calculations into two cases.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and terminology: standardized definitions, units and symbols for fixed EDLCs and preferred nominal values.
- Electrical tests: detailed measurement methods for capacitance, internal resistance (ESR), leakage current, and voltage maintenance including multiple measurement procedures (constant current discharge, constant resistance charging, AC impedance).
- Mechanical tests: visual inspection, dimensional checks and robustness of terminations (tensile, bending, torsion, torque).
- Environmental and climatic tests: rapid change of temperature, damp heat, endurance, and characteristics at high/low temperature to assess reliability in service conditions.
- Assembly-related tests: resistance to soldering heat and solderability for components destined for PCB assembly.
- Test procedure organization: new categorization and reorganization of test methods to improve clarity and harmonization with ISO/IEC Directives.
- Calculation methods: Annex D refines charging/discharging efficiency formulas into two scenarios - full charge/discharge and partial charge/discharge influenced by internal resistance.
- Specification guidance: lists conditions and parameters that must be prescribed in detail specifications for consistent quality assessment and acceptance testing.
Applications and who uses this standard
EN IEC 62391-1:2022 is used by:
- Capacitor manufacturers and R&D teams designing fixed EDLCs (supercapacitors).
- Quality engineers and test laboratories performing type tests, batch inspection and qualification.
- Component procurement and specification writers for electronics, automotive, renewable energy, power management and industrial equipment.
- Design engineers integrating EDLCs into DC power systems who need validated electrical and environmental performance data.
- Regulatory and conformity bodies and national committees adopting harmonized European standards.
Practical applications include component datasheet validation, supplier quality agreements, end‑product reliability assessment, and failure analysis.

FIXED ELECTRIC DOUBLE-LAYER CAPACITORS
FOR USE IN ELECTRIC AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT –
Part 1: Generic specification
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

IEC 62391-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 40: Capacitors and resistors for
electronic equipment. It is an International Standard.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2015. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) The document has been completely restructured to comply with the ISO/IEC Directives,
Part 2; a new technical categorization of test methods has been introduced and the test
methods have been reorganized according to these new categories; tables, figures and
references have been revised accordingly.
b) Calculation formula of charging/discharging efficiency in Annex D were divided into two
cases: "Calculation assuming full charge and discharge" and "Calculation assuming
incomplete charging and discharging due to internal resistance".
