IPC-A-610, Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies, is the most widely used specification published by IPC with an international reputation as THE source for end-product acceptance criteria in both consumer and high-reliability electronic assemblies. A comprehensive and technical program, this certification will improve candidates’ accuracy of ‘discrimination’ between an ‘acceptable’ and ‘non-conforming’ electronic assembly per the IPC-A-610 standard, leading to continuous improvement in product quality and reliability.
IPC/WHMA-A-620, Requirements and Acceptance for Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies, is the first industry consensus standard for cable and wire harness fabrication and installation, developed with the support of the Wire Harness Manufacturers Association (WHMA). Classes of products are defined and include criteria for Acceptable, Process Indicator and Defect conditions to support the collection of visual quality acceptability requirements for each class.
