IEC 62899-401:2025 ED2

Printed electronics - Part 401: Printability - Overview

Scope

IEC 62899-401:2025 provides an overview of the IEC 62899-4XX series and explains its modular structure. The IEC 62899-4XX series establishes requirements for the printability of printed electronics. These requirements are stated as measurement of quality, reproducibility, analysis and compliance test methods, as well as measuring methods for environmental conditions. The IEC 62899-4XX series specifies the measurements and the requirements of both the quality and the reproducibility of printed patterns as the result of the interaction of printing plate, ink, substrate, and environmental condition. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) The published IEC 62899-4XX documents are listed in the Bibliography.
b) The definitions of printed electronics, printed pattern, and void are modified.
c) The term printing media is specified as printing plate.
d) The term pattern width is specified as line pattern width.
e) The term thickness is specified as thickness of printed line.
f) The definition of basic pattern is modified.
g) The structure of IEC 62899-4XX series is updated according to the present projected documents numbering.
