Varistors for use in electronic equipment - Part 1: Generic specification (IEC 61051-1:2018)

This part of IEC 61051 is a generic specification and is applicable to varistors with symmetrical
voltage-current characteristics for use in electronic equipment.
It establishes standard terms, inspection procedures and methods of test for use in sectional
and detail specifications for quality assessment or any other purpose.
NOTE Detail specifications can be specifications within the IEC system, another specification system linked to IEC,
or specified by the manufacturer or user. The drafting of a complete detail specification by IEC technical committee 40,
if required, follows the rules described in Annex A.

Varistoren zur Verwendung in Geräten der Elektronik - Teil 1: Fachgrundspezifikation (IEC 61051-1:2018)

Varistances utilisées dans les équipements électroniques - Partie 1: Spécification générique (IEC 61051-1:2018)

La présente partie de l'IEC 61051 est une spécification générique applicable aux varistances à caractéristiques tension-courant symétriques, utilisées dans les équipements électroniques.
Elle établit les termes normalisés, les procédures de contrôle et les procédures d'essai utilisés dans les spécifications intermédiaires et particulières à des fins d'assurance de la qualité ou à toute autre fin.
NOTE Les spécifications particulières peuvent être des spécifications au sein du système de l'IEC, un autre système de spécifications lié à l'IEC, ou spécifiées par le fabricant ou l'utilisateur. La rédaction d'une spécification particulière complète par le comité d'études 40 de l'IEC, si elle est exigée, suit les règles décrites dans l'Annexe A.

Varistorji za elektronsko opremo - 1. del: Rodovna specifikacija (IEC 61051-1:2018)

Ta del standarda EN 61051 je splošna specifikacija in se uporablja za varistorje s simetričnimi značilnostmi napetostnega toka za uporabo v elektronski opremi.
Določa splošne pogoje, inšpekcijske postopke in preskusne metode za uporabo v sekcijskih in podrobnih specifikacijah za oceno kakovosti ali kateri koli drug namen.
OPOMBA: Podrobne specifikacije so lahko specifikacije v sistemu IEC, drug sistem specifikacij, povezan z IEC,
ali specifikacije, ki jih določi proizvajalec ali uporabnik. Priprava popolne podrobne specifikacije s strani tehničnega odbora IEC 40,
če je potrebna, upošteva pravila, opisana v dodatku A.
