The IPC-6903A standard provides 62 additional terms and definitions for the design and manufacture of printed electronics. The IPC-6903A standard creates a common language and understanding for the worldwide printed electronics community.
The IPC-1401A standard specifies the requirements and best practice guidelines for an effective corporate social responsibility (CSR) management system to help an enterprise integrate CSR as a customer requirement into products and value chain activities, as well as to identify and manage CSR risks and opportunities through cooperation with customers and suppliers, to enhance the competitive...
Surface Insulation Resistance (SIR) testing is a tool used not only for characterization testing of production processes such as solder masks, soldering flux, and conformal coatings, but also for examining the electrochemical reactions at each stage of the electronic assembly production process. This handbook covers the terminology, theories, test procedures and test vehicles of SIR testing...
The IPC-1755A standard establishes the requirements for exchanging data between suppliers and their customers in regard to the responsible resourcing of minerals. The IPC-1755As standard originally addressed conflict minerals within the scope of the Dodd-Frank Act in the US. IPC-1755A expands the scope of this document to address global responsible minerals sourcing.
The IPC-4412C covers the requirements for reinforcements woven from "E"glass yarn. These reinforcements are used in the production of prepregs, some of which are pressed into laminates. These prepregs and laminates are the base materials for rigid and mulitlayer printed boards. The IPC-4412C standard contains tables which describe each fabriic style in detail including the yarn used, the number of...
