IEC 60115-8-10:2026 is applicable to the drafting of detail specifications for surface mount (SMD) low-power film resistors, classified to level G, based on the definition of the product classification levels in IEC 60115‑1:2020, 3.4.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition IEC 60115‑8‑1:2014:
a) it supports solderability testing for both traditional lead-bearing soldering and up-to-date lead-free soldering, as required;
b) it supports the provision of detailed visual acceptance criteria;
c) it includes the requirement for a visual examination of the primary and proximity packaging;
d) it provides for the inclusion of specific visual acceptance criteria, to be applied in addition to those given in Annex B of the sectional specification IEC 60115‑8:2023.
