Scope

GB/T 29847-2025 is the English-translated version of 印制板用铜箔测试方法.

GB/T 29847-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering testing the copper foil that becomes the conductor of a printed board — the sampling, the surface inspection for pinholes, penetration points and discoloration, the thickness and the roughness taken by microsection or by laser, the bending and flexural resistance, the peel strength from the laminate, which decides whether a track lifts in processing, before and after solvent exposure, the solder and high temperature oxidation resistance, and the chemical composition. The revision adds laser roughness, solder heat resistance and the chemical composition of the foil, and drops the bending fatigue and ductility tests. Issued on 28 March 2025, it has been in force since 1 October 2025, replacing GB/T 29847-2013.

Foreword

This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for standardization work Part 1: Structure and drafting rules for standardization documents" Drafting.

This document replaces GB/T 29847-2013 "Test methods for copper foil for printed boards". Compared with GB/T 29847-2013, except for the structural adjustment In addition to the integration and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.

a) Added the terms "pinhole" and "penetration point" (see 3.5, 3.6); deleted the term "profile factor" (see 3.1 of the 2013 edition);

The terms "treatment" and "arithmetic mean deviation of profile" are changed to "surface treatment" and "surface roughness" (see 3.1, 3.2, 2013 edition) 3.2, 3.3); the definition of the term "micro roughness" has been changed (see 3.3, 3.4 of the 2013 edition);

b) The sampling method has been changed (see Chapter 5, Chapter 5 of the 2013 edition);

c) The permissible error of magnifying glass or microscope instruments has been changed (see Chapter 6, 6.1.2 of the 2013 edition);

d) Added discoloration points in surface inspection (see 6.1.3.4);

e) The pinhole inspection (penetrant method) has been modified (see Chapter 6, 6.2 of the 2013 edition);

f) Deleted "the total thickness and outline factor of treated or untreated copper foil" in the appearance and size test methods (see 6.3 of the 2013 edition);

g) Increased roughness (laser method) (see 6.7);

h) Deleted bending fatigue and ductility (see 7.2 of the 2013 edition);

i) increased bending resistance (see 7.2);

j) increased flexural resistance (see 7.3);

k) Deleted "Peel strength measurement after thermal stress" (see 7.3.3.3 of the 2013 edition);

l) Deleted "Peel strength measurement after exposure to process solution" (see 7.3.3.4 of the 2013 edition);

m) Added "peel strength after solvent resistance" (see 7.4.3.3);

n) Added "solder heat resistance" (see 7.5);

o) Added "high temperature oxidation resistance" (see 8.7);

p) Deleted "Purity of copper foil or copper plating" (see 9.1 of the 2013 edition);

q) Added “Chemical composition of copper foil” (see 8.8).
