IPC-D-620 provides design and critical process requirements for the three product classes of cable and wire harness assemblies as well as military/space applications. It is the design requirements companion to IPC/WHMA-A-620, "Requirements and Acceptance for Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies," and its associated Space Addendum

Three white papers are included to provide guidance on key topics discussed in the Standard. These are:

- IPC-WP-113, Guidance for the Development and Implementation of a Red Plague Control Plan (RPCP)

- IPC-WP-114, Guidance for the Development and Implementation of a White Plague Control Plan (WPCP)
