E-Textiles Standards

Sets the foundation for e-textiles by defining quality, performance, and testing for conductive yarns, the fundamental building blocks of wearables.

Download IPC-8911

Sets the first global benchmark for wearable reliability, providing test methods to validate a finished product's durability against real-world conditions like washing and perspiration.

Download IPC-8981

Defines the fabric of e-textiles by establishing performance and quality requirements for woven, knitted, and braided electronic textiles.

Download IPC-8921A

Ensures reliability for printed e-textiles, establishing qualification requirements for electronics and components printed directly onto fabric substrates.

IPC-8922 Coming Soon! 

Provides the design rules for creating applications with printed electronics on textile substrates.

Download IPC-8952

Guides the electrical testing process, specifying the equipment, parameters, and fixturing needed for printed electronics on e-textiles.

Download IPC-8971

Establishes design requirements for creating circuits and interconnections by embroidering conductive materials onto textiles.

IPC-8953 Coming Soon!

Serves as a comprehensive resource describing the materials, design, and manufacturing processes for e-textile wearables, complementing the IPC-8981 standard.

IPC-8961 Coming Soon!
