Requirements for Woven and Knitted Electronic Textiles (E-Textiles) Integrated with Conductive Fibers, Conductive Yarns and/or Wires
1 SCOPE
This standard establishes the classification system as well as qualification and quality conformance requirements affecting electrical/electronic performance of woven and knitted electronic textiles (e-textiles) integrated with conductive fibers, conductive yarns and/or wires.
This standard does not cover requirements for other types of e-textiles (e.g., nonwovens, coated/plated fabric, laminated, printed, braided, embroidered, etc.). This standard also does not cover non-electronically integrated textiles or nonconductive fibers or yarns.
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to provide and define test methods and guidance for key characteristics and durability of woven and knitted e-textiles integrated with conductive fibers, conductive yarns and/or wires.
1.2 Classification
IPC standards recognize that electrical and electronic assemblies are subject to classifications by intended end-item use. Three general end-product classes have been established to reflect differences in manufacturability, complexity, functional performance requirements, and verification (inspection/test) frequency. It should be recognized that there may be overlaps of equipment between classes.
