Applicable to fixed capacitors of ceramic dielectric with a highpermittivity (dielectric Class 2), intended for use in electronicequipment, including leadless capacitors, but excluding multilayerceramic chip capacitors. Prescribes preferred ratings andcharacteristics, selects from IEC 60384-1 (1982) the appropriatequality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods and givesgeneral performance requirements for this type of capacitor.Replaces IEC 187.
