SIST EN IEC 60115-8:2026/A11:2026

Fixed resistors for use in electronic equipment - Part 8: Sectional specification - Fixed surface mount resistors

This part of IEC 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) and product technology. These resistors have metallized terminations and are primarily intended to be mounted directly onto a circuit board. The object of this document is to specify 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

Overview

SIST EN IEC 60115-8:2026/A11:2026 is a European standard published by CLC that establishes requirements for fixed surface mount resistors used in electronic equipment. These components are essential for controlling current, voltage, and signal integrity in modern electronics. The standard specifies types and styles of resistors based on geometric shapes, dimensions, and product technology. It provides standardized criteria on preferred ratings, characteristics, performance requirements, and quality assessment procedures for surface mount resistors with metallized terminations.

This amendment (A11:2026) updates the sectional specification by offering new cross-references and incorporating applicable international and European standards. The goal is to ensure harmonization, clarity, and up-to-date compliance for manufacturers, suppliers, and users of surface mount resistors.

Key Topics

• Scope of Application
  The standard applies exclusively to fixed surface mount resistors designed for direct mounting on printed circuit boards in electronic equipment.

• Classification by Type and Style
  Resistors are described by their geometric shape, physical size, and underlying technology. This allows precise component selection for various electronic applications.

• Metallized Terminations
  Focus is placed on resistors with metallized ends, optimizing their compatibility with surface mounting and soldering processes.

• Quality and Performance
  Preferred ratings and general performance requirements are detailed, emphasizing reliability under normal conditions of equipment operation.

• Testing and Assessment
  The document references an established framework for quality evaluation, including testing methods and inspection plans derived from IEC 60115-1 and related documents.

• Document Cross-Referencing
  Annex ZA and ZX provide critical guidance on related standards and navigational cross-references between previous and current versions, supporting efficient transition for users familiar with the older standard.

Applications

Adopting SIST EN IEC 60115-8:2026/A11:2026 brings consistency and reliability to a wide range of industries and products using surface mount resistors, including:

• Consumer Electronics
  Smartphones, televisions, wearable technology, and computers incorporating compact and reliable resistors for circuit functionality.

• Industrial Automation
  Controllers and sensing equipment require consistent resistor performance according to internationally recognized criteria.

• Automotive Electronics
  Ensures the use of qualified resistors in electronic control units (ECUs), infotainment, and safety systems.

• Telecommunications Equipment
  Helps manufacturers select resistors that maintain stable operation in networking and communication devices.

• Medical Devices
  Confidence in component quality and testing helps meet stringent regulatory and safety requirements in diagnostic and monitoring equipment.

Related Standards

For comprehensive compliance and design compatibility, this sectional specification references several key standards, such as:

• IEC 60115-1: Fixed resistors for use in electronic equipment - Generic specification
• IEC 60062: Marking codes for resistors and capacitors
• IEC 60068 Series: Environmental testing methods, including vibration and solderability tests for electronic components
• IEC 60286-3: Packaging of components for automatic handling-Particularly for surface mount devices
• IEC 61193-2: Quality assessment systems and sampling plans for component inspection
• IEC 61760-1: Measurement and assessment of SMD component dimensions

Reference to these standards ensures harmonized component marking, robust environmental qualification, reliable performance, and ease of integration in automated assembly processes.
