Wearable electronic devices and technologies - Part 201-1: Electronic Textile - Measurement methods for basic properties of conductive yarns (IEC 63203-201-1:2022)

This part of IEC 63203-201 specifies provisions and test methods for measurement of
properties of conductive yarns. Conductive yarns covered in this document have conductivity
of a level that can be used for transmission of electric signals, supply of electric power and
electromagnetic shield. They do not include high-resistance conductive yarn used for anti-static
and heating use. Conductive yarns are the basic material in electronic textiles and are mainly
used as conductive traces in clothes-type wearable devices, as well as with secondary
processing (woven, knitted, embroidered, nonwoven, etc.) to provide conductive fabrics.
This document does not define the required characteristics of the conductive yarn; rather, it
specifies the handling and measurement methods for general and electrical properties of
conductive yarn.

Technologies et dispositifs électroniques prêts-à-porter - Partie 201-1: Textile électronique - Méthodes de mesure des propriétés fondamentales des fils conducteurs (IEC 63203-201-1:2022)

L’IEC 63203-201-1:2022 spécifie les dispositions applicables aux fils conducteurs et les méthodes d’essai pour le mesurage de leurs propriétés. Les fils conducteurs traités dans la présente norme présentent un niveau de conductivité qui peut être utilisé pour la transmission des signaux électriques, ou la fourniture de puissance électrique et d’un écran électromagnétique. Ces fils ne comportent pas de fil conducteur à haute résistance utilisé pour une utilisation antistatique et à des fins de chauffage. Les fils conducteurs constituent le matériau de base des textiles électroniques et sont utilisés principalement comme traces conductrices dans les dispositifs prêts-à-porter de type vêtements, ainsi qu’avec un traitement secondaire (en modes tissé, tricoté, brodé, non tissé, etc.), afin de fournir des étoffes conductrices.
Le présent document ne définit pas les caractéristiques exigées du fil conducteur, mais spécifie les méthodes de manipulation et de mesurage liées aux propriétés générales et électriques du fil conducteur.

Nosljive elektronske naprave in tehnologije - 201-1. del: Elektronski tekstil - Metode merjenja osnovnih lastnosti prevodnih prej (IEC 63203-201-1:2022)

Ta del standarda IEC 63203-201 podaja določila in preskusne metode za merjenje lastnosti prevodnih prej. Ta dokument zajema prevodne preje, katerih stopnja prevodnosti omogoča njihovo uporabo za prenos električnih signalov, dobavo električne energije ter elektromagnetno zaščito. To ne zajema prevodne preje z visoko odpornostjo, ki se uporabljajo pri preprečevanju statične naelektritve in ogrevanju. Prevodna preja je osnovni material za elektronski tekstil ter se uporablja predvsem kot prevodna sled v nosljivih napravah za oblačenje, ter se v sekundarni obdelavi (tkanje, pletenje, vezenje, netkani tekstil itd.) uporablja za izdelavo prevodnih tkanin. Ta dokument ne opredeljuje zahtevanih lastnosti prevodne preje, temveč določa metode za ravnanje in mejenje splošnih ter električnih lastnosti prevodne preje.

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
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 63203-201-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 124: Wearable electronic
devices and technologies. It is an International Standard.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
124/175/FDIS 124/180/RVD

Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
