The two most widely used standards in the industry, J-STD 001, Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies, and IPC-A- 610, Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies, have been released to revision G to keep pace with the everchanging electronics industry.
The IPC-A- 610 remains the visual acceptance tool for post assembly products. J-STD 001 covers the materials and process requirements for manufacture. Even though they are often used as comparison documents, they do each have a unique purpose.
Training and certification materials were also released November 2017 allowing companies to swiftly transition to revision G for all CIT and CIS training requirements.
Advanced Rework Technology Ltd is longest running IPC Authorised Training Centre in the UK and one of a few in Europe who can offer ALL of the IPC training programmes, including IPC-A- 610 and J-STD 001 to both Certified IPC Trainer and Certified IPC Specialist levels.

I would personally like to congratulate the chairpersons and their committee members for their hard work and dedication’
