All standardization of electrical and electronic components and related technologies follows the rules set by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), a non-profit, non-governmental international standards organization. The IEC standard is harmonized with the European standard EN. Procedures for the definition of characteristics and test methods for capacitors for use in electronic equipment are specified in the General Specification:
IEC/EN60384-1, Fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment-Part 1: Generic specification
The tests and requirements for film capacitors used in electronic equipment to be approved as standardized types are listed in the following section specifications: The standardization of power capacitors is mainly concerned with personnel and equipment safety rules established by local regulatory agencies. The concepts and definitions for ensuring the safe application of power capacitors are published in the following standards:
IEC/EN61071; Power electronic capacitors
IEC/EN60252-1; AC motor capacitors. General. performance, testing and rating. Safety requirements. Installation and Operation Guide
