How do you select and test a conformal coating that is right for your specific application? Or maybe you would like to create your own test specification due to any special characteristics of your device’s operating environment? Or depending on your geographical location, you may also be required to use a different testing specification that is dictated by local authorities.
A widely used method to create an internal specification, is to simply select a conformal coating material that meets an existing specification standard. Such standard could be MIL-I-46058C or IEC-60664. However, you must be careful to ensure that the existing standard that you choose, does indeed meet 100% of your requirements. In such cases, you may have to specify test methods from other existing standards.
