Overview
SIST EN 62391-2-1:2006 is a European standard published by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST) that specifies the blank detail specification requirements for fixed electric double-layer capacitors intended for use in electronic equipment, with a focus on power applications at assessment level EZ. This supplementary document outlines the mandatory structure, layout, and minimum content essential for individual detail specifications conforming to IEC 62391-2-1:2006, ensuring consistency, reliability, and quality assessment across manufacturers and users.
Detail specifications that do not align with the requirements set by this document may not be considered compliant with IEC specifications. The standard is particularly relevant for component manufacturers, quality assessors, and electronics designers who prepare or evaluate specifications related to fixed electric double-layer capacitors for power applications.
Key Topics
- Scope: Supplementary to sectional specifications with explicit guidance for the format and minimum data to be included in detail specifications.
- Identification Requirements:
- Organization and numbering system under which the specification is prepared.
- Precise capacitor description, construction information, and outline drawings.
- Application group and assessment level.
- General Data:
- Mounting methods and essential dimensions.
- Ratings (capacitance, voltage), tolerances, climatic requirements, and maximum/internal resistance.
- Requirements for marking, packaging, and ordering information.
- Inspection and Quality Conformance:
- Detailed inspection procedures for qualification approval and quality conformance, including sampling, testing schedules, and lot traceability.
- Procedures for recording and certifying released lots.
- Inspection tests such as capacitance, internal resistance, leakage current, dimension verification, solderability, robustness, vibration resistance, endurance, self-discharge, storage, humidity testing, and flammability (if applicable).
- Normative References:
- Specifies interlinked standards such as IEC 60410 (sampling plans), IEC 62391-1 (generic specification), IEC 62391-2 (sectional specification), and IEC QC 001005 (quality assessment systems).
Applications
The guidelines provided in SIST EN 62391-2-1:2006 are essential for the standardization and qualification of electric double-layer capacitors used in a broad range of power electronics and electronic equipment. By adhering to this standard:
- Component manufacturers ensure their products are consistently documented, conforming to recognized international formats for quality, performance, and safety.
- Specification writers and engineering teams can prepare comprehensive, compliant detail specifications covering essential parameters, ratings, inspection, and documentation.
- Quality assurance professionals have a foundation for inspection plans, quality control procedures, and lot acceptance criteria.
- Purchasing and supply chain managers can confidently order capacitors with complete understanding and traceability, supporting product reliability and performance in downstream electronics manufacturing.
These applications drive improved interoperability, reduced risk of misapplication, and streamlined procurement processes across the electronic components sector.

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 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. International Standard IEC 62391-2-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 40: Capacitors and resistors for electronic equipment. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 40/1642/FDIS 40/1714/RVD
