What is BS EN 60384-14-2 - Fixed capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression about?  
BS EN 60384-14-2 is an international standard that discusses fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment. It helps in resisting the heat of dielectric and helps in improving the quality of fixed capacitors.    
BS EN 60384-14-2 applies to capacitors and resistor-capacitor combinations which will be connected to an a.c. mains or other supply with nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V a.c. (r.m.s.) or 1 500 V d.c. and with a nominal frequency not exceeding 100 Hz.
Who is BS EN 60384-14-2 - Fixed capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression for? 
BS EN 60384-14-2 on fixed capacitors for use in electronic equipment is relevant to: 
- Manufacturers of electronic equipment
- Sensor and monitoring device manufacturer
- Electrician
- Certification bodies
- Quality inspection
Why should you use BS EN 60384-14-2 - Fixed capacitors for electromagnetic interference suppression?  
In electric appliances or gadgets, a fixed capacitor aids in maintaining a steady charge and energy output. In general, fixed capacitors are characterized in terms of the dielectric material used to make them.
This blank detail specification forms the basis for a uniform procedure for a common international safety mark. It implements the approval schedule for safety tests in IEC 60384-14, requires a declaration of design for parameters relevant to safety, and indicates conformance tests to be conducted on every lot prior to its release and requalification tests depending on changes to the declared design.
BS EN IEC 60384‑14-2 is useful in performing the test and also helps in producing better quality electronic devices. Adherence to BS EN 60384-14-2 will aid in the suppression of external interference and the protection of the device.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 60384-14-2:2016 supersedes BS EN 60384-14-2:2004, which is withdrawn. BS EN 60384-14-2:2016 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN 60384-14-2:2004. These include:
- The permitted number of non-conforming items in Table 2 is always zero following the sectional specification IEC 60384-14:2013
