Abstract
After a flexible printed circuit is left under an atmosphere of a water vapor pressure of not lower than 30 mmHg so as to absorb moisture, a voltage is applied between two wiring portions to thereby measure an insulation resistance value between the wiring portions during the voltage application. The quantity &Dgr;log(R) of the change of the insulation resistance value at regular intervals is obtained. An examination is made as to whether the maximum of the quantity &Dgr;log(R) of the change of the insulation resistance value is not larger than a predetermined reference value or not. From this examination, a judgment is made as to whether the flexible printed circuit is good or not.
