This document provides comprehensive data to help users more easily determine material performance, capabilities, and compatibility of functional conductive materials for the manufacture of printed electronics. It includes:

• classification schemes based on composition, conductor type, and post-processing structure;
• functional conductive material specification sheets to present properties for the different conductive material types;
• the most current classification system, qualification and quality conformance requirements, including those raw material properties of particular interest to the printed electronics designer, fabricator, or other user.

This standard is a joint standard published by IPC and JPCA, Japan Electronics Packaging and Circuits Association. 21 pages. Released December 2012
