Overview
Standard Reference: IEC 62908-12-10:2017
Title: Touch and interactive displays - Part 12-10: Measurement methods of touch displays - Touch and electrical performance (corrigendum Nov 2018 included)
IEC 62908-12-10:2017 specifies standard measuring conditions and methods for determining the touch performance and electrical performance of a touch sensor module. It applies to touch sensor modules whose structural relationship (sensor, controller, module, display panel, touch display panel, touch display module) is defined in IEC 62908-1-2. The standard defines environmental and positioning conditions, test tools, and repeatable procedures for laboratory and production test environments.
Key topics and technical requirements
The standard defines measurement methods and reporting for a comprehensive set of touch and electrical performance metrics, including:
The document includes figures, test grids and reporting guidance to ensure reproducible, comparable results.
Applications and who uses it
This standard is essential for stakeholders involved in design, manufacture, integration and validation of touch-enabled displays:
- Display manufacturers and touch sensor vendors - for design verification and specification compliance
- Touch controller and module designers - to validate firmware/hardware performance
- Test laboratories and QA teams - to run repeatable production and acceptance tests
- System integrators and OEMs - to assess touch performance in final products
- Procurement and compliance teams - to specify measurable acceptance criteria
Using IEC 62908-12-10 helps reduce field failures, enable fair vendor comparisons, and support claims about accuracy, latency, robustness to water or electrical noise, and power efficiency.
