Overview

SIST EN 60286-1:2018/oprA2:2026 is an amendment under development by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CLC), aligned with the IEC. This Amendment 2 addresses the requirements for tape packaging of components with axial leads on continuous tapes, specifically for use in automatic handling systems. The standard is vital for manufacturers, suppliers, and users of electronic components-particularly capacitors and resistors-who rely on consistent and reliable packaging methods for automated assembly processes.

This document revises and updates procedures related to how electronic components with axial leads are packed on tapes, emphasizing factors such as lead retention, positional tolerances, and extraction-force testing to ensure mechanical stability and compatibility with automatic handling systems.

Key Topics

• Tape Packaging for Axial Leads: Lays out guidelines for the tape packaging of electronic components with axial leads, supporting seamless integration into automated production lines.
• Adhesion and Extraction Force: Updates on methods to maintain component position within defined tolerances during handling, storage, and transportation.
• Extraction Force Measurement: Specifies the qualitative assessment of extraction force, ensuring that the leads are securely held, yet can be efficiently removed during automated processing.
• Annex B - Extraction Force Testing: Introduces a new normative annex detailing procedures for measuring lead extraction force, including clear diagrams and procedural guidance.
• Packaging Integrity: Ensures that the packaging not only safeguards components throughout the supply chain but also optimizes the feeding process in automated equipment.
• International Harmonization: The standard supports uniform application internationally, enabling global supply chain compatibility and quality assurance.

Applications

• Electronic Component Manufacturing: Ensures packaging processes for capacitors, resistors, and similar components meet international requirements for automated machinery, improving throughput and reducing errors in pick-and-place assembly systems.
• Automated Assembly Operations: Supplies the electronics industry with standardized tape dimensions, lead retention methods, and extraction procedures, enhancing the reliability of component feeding.
• Component Quality Assurance: Helps quality engineers validate tape-packaged components, emphasizing consistent retention strength and lead position to minimize handling damage or misfeeds.
• Supply Chain Optimization: Facilitates efficient, error-free storage, transport, and inventory management, making components ready for just-in-time manufacturing and automated insertion processes.

Related Standards

For comprehensive implementation and compatibility, organizations and professionals should also reference these related standards:

• EN 60286-1:2017 - The base standard covering general requirements for tape packaging of components with axial leads.
• IEC 60286-1 - International counterpart detailing packaging methods for automatic handling of electronic components.
• EN 60286 Series - Related documents on packaging for different component types and lead configurations, supporting diverse automation systems.
• ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and 2 - Guidance for the development and harmonization of international standards in the electrotechnical sector.

---

By complying with SIST EN 60286-1:2018/oprA2:2026, electronics manufacturers and suppliers ensure their component packaging supports high-speed automation, improves end-product quality, and aligns with global industry best practices for electronic components packaging.

10 FOREWORD
11 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national
12 electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co -operation on all
13 questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities ,
14 IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS)
15 and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC
16 National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental
17 and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with
18 the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between
19 the two organizations.
20 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus
21 of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National
22 Committees.
23 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in
24 that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure tha
