This question seems obvious, however, when I reviewing the IEC 60335-1 safety standard, I found that it define electronic component as:
Inside the resistor, it is not vacuum, gas nor semiconductor, so resistor is not an electronic component?
Also in the IEC 60335-1 clause 19.11 abnormal test, it requires to short circuit of any electronic component. If so, we do not need to consider the case of short circuit the resistor (and other component such as capacitor)?
Thank you.
