Targeting Excellence in Electronics and Cable Assembly
The IPC-A-610 “Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies” is the most widely used standard published by the IPC with an international reputation as the source for end product acceptance criteria for consumer and high reliability electronic assemblies. This is an industry developed and approved program that includes training, certification and instructional materials updated to Revison H of IPC-A-610.
IPC-A-610 Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies
The 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. 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. The training program has been updated to cover the changes in Revision D of the standard.
IPC/WHMA-A-620 Requirements and Acceptance for Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies
There is a small amount of common content that allows for both certiifications to be completed in a single 5 day block, for CIS only. This can be a convenient way to maintain your Acceptability Standard certifications where both IPC-A-610 and IPC/WHMA-A-620 are required.
