This sectional specification prescribes the preferred values for characteristics and ratings and also the inspection requirements for fixed power resistors of assessed quality having a rated dissipation of up to 1 000 W. It selects from the generic specification, EN 140000, the appropriate methods of test to be used in detail specifications derived from this specification.
Associated with this specification are one or more blank detail specifications each referenced by a CECC number. A blank detail specification which has been completed as specified in 2.5 of this specification forms a detail specification. Such detail specifications may be used for the granting of Qualification Approval to a resistor and for the performance of Quality Conformance Inspection in accordance with the CECC system.
