National foreword
This British Standard is the official English language version of
EN 61249-2-21:2003. It is identical with IEC 61249-2-21:2003.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee
EPL/501, Electronic assembly technology, which has the responsibility to:
— aid enquirers to understand the text;
— present to the responsible international/European committee any

enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the
UK interests informed;
— monitor related international and European developments and
promulgate them in the UK.

This part of IEC 61249 gives requirements for properties of non-halogenated epoxide woven E-
glass reinforced laminated sheets of defined flammability (vertical burning test), copper-clad
--```,,,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
in thicknesses 0,05 mm up to 3,2 mm. The flammability rating is achieved through the use of
non-halogenated inorganic and/or organic compounds acting as fire retardants. These fire
retardants are contained as part of the polymeric structure or in addition to it. The glass
transition temperature is defined to be 120 °C minimum.
Some property requirements may have several classes of performance. The class desired
must be specified on the purchase order, otherwise the default class of material may be
supplied.

Scratches with a depth less than 5 % of the nominal thickness of the foil shall not be counted

permitted to a total length of 100 mm for a 300 mm u 300 mm area.

Raised areas are usually impressions caused by defects in the press plates used during
manufacture but may also be caused by blisters or inclusions of foreign particles under the foil.

The laminate thickness may be ordered to include or exclude the copper foil contribution as
specified in the purchase order. As a general rule laminates less than 0,8 mm are measured
excluding copper and laminates greater or equal to 0,8 mm are measured including copper. If
the copper-clad laminate is tested in accordance with test method 2D01 of IEC 61189-2, the
thickness shall not depart from the nominal thickness by more than the appropriate value
shown in Table 2. The fine tolerances shall apply unless the other tolerances are ordered.

Punching is not applicable. The laminate shall, in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations, be capable of being sheared or drilled. Delamination at the edges due to the
shearing process is permissible, provided that the depth of delamination is not larger than the
thickness of the base material. Delamination at the edges of drilled holes due to the drilling
process is not permissible. Drilled holes shall be capable of being through-plated with no
interference from any exudations into the hole.

When specimens are tested in accordance to IEC 61189-2, Method 2X02, the observed
tolerance shall be as specified in Table 5. The nominal dimensional stability value shall be as
agreed upon between user and vendor. The tolerance range around the agreed upon nominal
shall be Class A, unless otherwise specified on the purchase order.
The choice of the glass fabrics in the construction of the laminate has a significant impact on
dimensional stability. Examples of typical constructions used in printed board applications can
be found in Annex B. Annex B is not a construction requirement table but is presented for
engineering information only.
Class A performance shall apply, unless otherwise noted on the purchase order.

British Standards. It presents the UK view on standards in Europe and at the
international level. It is incorporated by Royal Charter.
Revisions
British Standards are updated by amendment or revision. Users of
British Standards should make sure that they possess the latest amendments or
editions.
It is the constant aim of BSI to improve the quality of our products and services.
We would be grateful if anyone finding an inaccuracy or ambiguity while using
this British Standard would inform the Secretary of the technical committee
responsible, the identity of which can be found on the inside front cover.
