IEC 60294:2012 applies to cylindrical capacitors and resistors for use in electronic equipment.
This standard gives methods for measurement of the body length and for checking the excessive protective coating extending onto the wire terminations of components with axial wire terminations. It further provides a method for checking the overall body diameter of cylindrical components with axial wire terminations.
NOTE A measuring method for components with unidirectional terminations is given in IEC 60717.
