This global standard defines marking codes for resistors and capacitors, as well as indexes for the dielectric material and electrodes of plastic film and paper capacitors. Clause 3 of the standard provides a color coding system for fixed resistors, designed to be used in conjunction with the values from the E6 to E192 series, as detailed in IEC 60063. Clause 4 outlines a system for indicating resistance and capacitance values using a combination of letters and numbers. Clause 5 specifies a method for marking tolerance on resistance and capacitance values through the use of a single letter. Clause 6 presents systems for marking date codes on capacitors and resistors using a mix of letters and digits. Lastly, Clause 7 introduces a coding system for the identification of dielectric materials.
