What is BS IEC 62899-202 - Conductive ink standards about?
The IEC 62899 series deals mainly with evaluation methods for materials of printed electronics. The series also includes storage methods, packaging and marking, and transportation conditions. Printed electronics is a set of printing methods used to create electrical devices on various substrates.
IEC 62899-202 is prepared for conducting materials used in printed electronics and contains the test conditions, the evaluation methods, and the storage conditions. This part of IEC 62899-202 defines terms and specifies standard methods for characterisation and evaluation. BS IEC 62899-202 is applicable to conductive inks and conductive layers that are made from conductive inks.
Who is BS IEC 62899-202 - Conductive ink standards for?
BS IEC 62899-202 on conductive ink standards is useful for:
- Manufacturers of electronic circuits
- Manufacturers of PCB boards
- Product development / innovation / research teams
- Quality control teams
- Manufacturers of:
- Wearable medical devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.)
- LEDs (Light and motion systems, colour-changing lights, etc.)
- Consumer electronics (laptops, cameras, calculators, etc.)
- Industrial equipment (robotic arms, HMI equipment, etc.)
- Automotive components (GPS systems, antilock brakes, etc.)
Why should you use BS IEC 62899-202 - Conductive ink standards?
Conductive ink is a paint that contains silver or carbon particles. These particles are responsible for giving this ink/paint the conductive property. These inks could replace the wires and copper tracks in circuits. This property is important for the use in various coating and printing processes, such as large-area processing.
In BS IEC 62899-202, atmospheric conditions for evaluation and conditioning; and evaluation of properties of conductive ink have been discussed in detail. The properties of conductive layers and the storage conditions for conductive inks have also been discussed thoroughly in BS IEC 62899-202. Using BS IEC 62899-202 guidelines, you would be able to determine the properties of conductive inks; and advance your products by using flexible electronic circuitry and provide your customers with suitable products.
