What is BS EN IEC 61249-2-46 - Materials for printed boards about?  
BS EN IEC 61249-2-46 is an international standard that discusses materials for printed boards and other interconnecting structures.
BS EN IEC 61249-2-46 gives requirements for properties of non-halogenated epoxide non-woven reinforced core/woven E-glass reinforced surface laminate sheets of thermal conductivity and defined flammability (vertical burning test), copper-clad for lead-free assembly in thicknesses of 0,60 mm up to 1,70 mm.
Who is BS EN IEC 61249-2-46 - Materials for printed boards for? 
BS EN IEC 61249-2-46 on materials for printed boards is useful for: 
- Manufacturers of printed circuit boards (PCBs)
- Manufacturers of electronic components and interconnecting structures
- Manufacturers and suppliers of laminate sheets
- Quality control and testing personnel
- Inspection authorities
Why should you use BS EN IEC 61249-2-46 - Materials for printed boards?  
PCB is essential in all electronic devices, whether they are used for residential or industrial applications. In a multi-processor context, the interconnection arrangement can determine total system performance.
BS EN IEC 61249-2-46 covers best industry guidance on materials and construction, reference standards’ test methods to verify electrical properties along with their requirements, and non-electrical properties of the copper-clad laminate. Reference test methods for properties such as flexural strength, flammability, measling, amongst others and their respective requirements are also covered.
If you are a manufacturer, you can also improve your quality management systems by adopting best industry practices for conformance and qualification inspection and exhibiting compliance with BS EN IEC 61249-2-46 requirements.
Compliance with requirements and tests provided by BS EN IEC 61249-2-46 can thus demonstrate the reliability, quality and performance of materials for printed boards and interconnecting structures.
