Applies to fixed direct current capacitors, for rated voltages not exceeding 6 300 V, using as dielectric a polyethylene-terephthalate film and electrodes of thin metal foils and intended for use in electronic equipment. Prescribes preferred ratings and characteristics, selects from IEC 60384-1 (1982) the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods and gives general performance requirements for this type of capacitor. Replaces IEC 60202.
