IEC EN 62899-550-1 Printed Electronics - Part 550-1 : Quality Assessment - Framework Document for Endurance Testing - Mechanical and Thermal Testing

EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 62899-550-1 test. IEC EN 62899-550-1 provides a framework for evaluating the mechanical and thermal durability of printed or flexible electronic components and products. This includes bending test, torsion test, tensile test, constant heat test and thermal cycling test. These are typical situations that are easily encountered in everyday life for printed or flexible electronic components and products.

This standard provides guidance for the use of technical committees in the preparation of consistent standards for the quality assessment of printed or flexible electronic components and products. Consistent standards for durability testing will help users, including businesses, developers, vendors, and end users, choose appropriate methods for durability testing and establish consistent testing procedures for printed electronics.

Durability testing helps to improve the product and generate more revenue through customer satisfaction and retention, as it provides the tools to identify and ensure a solid product. Therefore, standardizing and sharing a consistent method for endurance testing is an effective way to ease the commodification of the relevant industry and raise the bar for trust and performance.

For the consistency of the framework, the IEC 62899 series is preferably referenced for mechanical and thermal tests. For example, bending test methods and procedures are performed according to IEC EN 62899-201, IEC EN 62899-501-1 and IEC EN 62899-502-1. In the case of thermal testing, methods and procedures are prepared according to IEC 62899-505, while temperature and humidity conditions refer to IEC EN 60721-3-7, which includes environmental parameters for portable use.
