This guideline is applicable to the plastic film capacitors for use in electronic equipment. The objective is
equipment manufactures to adopt safety consciousness in design, manufacturing of equipment and also
operation of the equipment in the field. This guideline may also be used as reference to describe the safety
matter in product specification and a part of technical information from component suppliers.
This guideline only provides the information of approaches to the safety of electronic components, better
ways and recommended points on the use of electronic components for the purpose of improving safety of
the electronic equipment. This guideline, therefore, shall not assure the product safety of applied electronic
components and electronic equipment even when applications comply fully with this guideline.
The same consideration described in this document is also applicable to plastic film capacitors used in
other applications such as automotive electronic systems and various industrial systems.
It is recommended to consult with supplier when the applications are in the area of medical equipment,
nuclear equipment and aero-space equipment.
* Electronic equipment applied following safety Standard;
IEC 60065 (Audio-visual), IEO 60950-1 (Information technology) and
IEO 60335-1 (House hold appliances)
