code), the 20-year cycle code (four-digit code), the 10-year cycle code (four-digit code), and
a one-character code - four-year cycle.
b) revision of the code letter system for the dielectric material of plastic film and paper capacitors.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2005-12-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2008-03-01
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.

MARKING CODES FOR RESISTORS
AND CAPACITORS


FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60062 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 40:
Capacitors and resistors for electronic equipment.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 1992 and its amendment 1
(1995) and constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) completion of the existing code systems for
– resistors with a three-character code system and a four-character code system;
– temperature coefficient of resistance with a letter code system;
– data code system for capacitors and resistors with the 10-year cycle code (two-
character code), the 20-year cycle code (four-digit code), the 10-year cycle code (four-
digit code), and a one-character code – four-year cycle.
b) extension with a code letter system for the dielectric material of plastic film and paper
capacitors.

MARKING CODES FOR RESISTORS
AND CAPACITORS



1 Scope
This International Standard specifies marking codes for resistors and capacitors and indexes
for the dielectric material and the electrodes of plastic film and paper capacitors.
The code specified in Clause 3 gives a colour coding for fixed resistors.
It is intended for use with the values of the E6 to E192 series as specified in IEC 60063.
The code specified in Clause 4 gives a system for marking resistance and capacitance values
by means of letters and digits.
The code specified in Clause 5 gives a system for marking the tolerance on resistance and
capacitance values by means of a letter.
The code specified in Clause 6 gives systems for marking the date codes on capacitors and
resistors by means of letters and digits.
The code (index) specified in Clause 7 gives a coding system for the dielectric material.
