IPC/WHMA-A-620 for Certified IPC Trainer (CIT) 12-AUG-2024

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.

This certification will familiarise candidates with the general requirements of the IPC/WHMA-A-620 standard and will promote a commitment to enhancing product quality and reliability, while facilitating certification to ISO and other quality assurance initiatives.  The course aims to teach personnel how to verify the quality of work performed to ensure compliance and minimise rework.

This certification is primarily lecture based, however SMCBA are pleased to now offer the optional Hands-On module! The objective of the hands-on module is to teach correct application of the IPC/WHMA-A-620 standard and provide a positively-discriminated certification on hand skills.
