IPC-A-610

IPC-A-610, Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies is the most widely used standard published by the IPC. It has an international reputation as the source for end product acceptance criteria for consumer and high reliability printed wiring assemblies. IPC-A-610 training covers various aspects of electronic packages, presents target conditions, ideal situations, as well as tolerances, defined as acceptable conditions. There are also situations that do not meet the requirements or defects. In addition, it deals with situations that do not affect the operation, but are an undesirable state associated with the process material, construction or machine problems. They are considered as process indicators and they can be the basis for improvements within processes.

The IPC-A-610 Training and Certification Program offers those interested in company-wide quality assurance initiatives in an industry traceable, IPC-sponsored program to support their commitment to continuous improvement of product quality and reliability. The program provides individuals with a portable credential that represents their understanding of the IPC-A-610.

The inspector at the electronic manufacturers is responsible for checking that all relevant parameters are met. He has a key role in ensuring that products delivered to the customer meet the specifications. In order to do that job properly, the most important thing is to have all the relevant information. These can be assembly drawings, contracts and other documents provided by the customer. In addition, the inspector should have the access to the relevant specifications and acceptance criteria, such as those found in the IPC-A-610 standard.

A certified IPC Application Specialist (CIS) focuses on line employees, operators, inspectors and buyers who use the acceptance criteria every day to check and decide on the acceptance / rejection of the product under consideration.

Certified IPC Trainers have high quality materials and detailed instructional plans for training Application Specialists at all levels, including buyers, sales teams and management. Training for Certified Trainers is intended for all those who are responsible for the quality of the production process. With the appropriate knowledge and competence to train specialists, they ensure repeatability and reliability of the process, at every stage and the highest quality of the final product.
