IPC

As an association and as an industry, we have many milestones and achievements to celebrate. On these pages, read about the vision of the six printed circuit board manufacturers that came together to create the Institute of Printed Circuits in the fall of 1957. Since that day, IPC has been dedicated to removing supply chain obstacles, creating industry standards, and supporting the advancement of the industry.

No matter what changes lay ahead, the strength of our volunteer leadership and commitment to serve the needs of our membership will continue to be the hallmark of IPC for many years to come.

IPC-9709:2011 - Start year: : 2011
Description:

Test Guidelines for Acoustic Emission Measurement during Mechanical Testing

Notes:

Surface mount pad cratering typically initiates prior to detection by existing electrical monitoring test methods. There are limited instrumentation techniques that are currently available that can identify non-electrical damage and its location to a high degree of accuracy. This guideline document establishes an Acoustic Emission (AE) method to evaluate the performance and reliability of surface mount attachments of electronic assemblies during mechanical loading. Mechanical loading may include stressors such as fourpoint bend test, spherical bend test, or back-end manufacturing steps post surface mount attachment. The initial focus for this test method is to identify the printed board pad cratering mechanism and printed board material performance. This approach may eventually be extended to examine other failure modes depending on the guideline’s evolution and adoption, as this methodology remains in development.

Description:

Guidelines for Acoustic Emission Measurement Method During Mechanical Testing

Notes:

This guideline document establishes an Acoustic Emission (AE) method to enhance evaluation of the performance and reliability of surface mount attachments of electronic assemblies during mechanical loading. Mechanical loading may include stressors such as four-point bend test, spherical bend test, back-end manufacturing and test steps post surface mount attachment and drop/shock test. The current focus for this measurement method is to identify the printed board pad cratering mechanism and printed board material performance. This approach may eventually be extended to examine other failure modes depending on the guideline’s evolution and adoption, as this method remains in development.
1.1 Purpose The purpose of this document includes:
Detection of crack/mechanical damage initiation: initial damage from strain may precede electrical detection of failures such as pad cratering damage during a mechanical stress test.
Identification of the failure initiation location and propagation through detection of AE signals generated due to stress-induced physical damage.
Estimation of the strain at which the mechanical failure event is observed acoustically, which can be used as a design guideline.
Provision of standardized test guidelines and reporting procedures.
1.2 Background Pad cratering typically initiates prior to detection by existing electrical monitoring test methods. There are limited instrumentation techniques that are currently available that can identify non-electrical damage and its location to a high degree of accuracy. Alternative methodologies often require large sample sizes to estimate these virtually undetectable failure modes.
1.3 Performance Classification The specific reliability requirements need to be established by agreement between customer and supplier.
1.4 Definition of Terms The definition of all terms used herein shall be as specified in IPC-T-50, ASTM E1316, and as defined below.

IPC-J-STD-001HA/A-610HA: Automotive Addendum to IPC J-STD-001H Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies and IPC-A-610H Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies

Notes:

This Addendum provides requirements to be used in addition to, and in some cases, in place of, those published in J-STD-001H to ensure the reliability of mission-critical soldered automotive electrical and electronic assemblies in the field under harsh environments, considering the conditions of automated high-volume production.

0.2 Purpose When required by procurement documentation/drawings, this Addendum supplements or replaces specifically identified requirements of J-STD-001H.

0.3 Existing or Previously Approved Designs This Addendum shall not constitute the sole cause for the redesign of previously approved designs. When drawings for existing or previously approved designs undergo revision, they should be reviewed and changes made that allow for conformance with the requirements of this Addendum.

0.4 Use This Addendum is not to be used as a standalone document.

Where criteria are not supplemented, the Class 3 requirements of J-STD-001H shall apply. Where J-STD-001H criteria are supplemented or new criteria are added by this Addendum, the clause is listed in J-STD-001HA, and the entire J-STD-001H clause is replaced by this Addendum except as specifically noted.

The clauses modified by this Addendum do not include subordinate clauses unless specifically stated, e.g., 1.4 does not include 1.4.1. Clauses, Tables, Figures, etc., in J-STD-001H that are not listed in this Addendum are to be used as published. J-STD-001HA must be used with J-STD-001H. This Addendum shall be used only in conjunction with the corresponding automotive addendum pertaining to IPC-A-610H.

In the context of this Addendum, IPC-A-610 shall be used as a companion document to J-STD-001. The revisions of J-STD-001 and IPC-A-610 shall correspond, e.g., J-STD-001H and IPC-A-610H. The likelihood of criteria not aligning increases when different revisions are used together.

While there are a variety of industry test vehicles for the examination of material compatibility, the IPC-B-52 test board was created to meet the needs for testing both ion chromatograph and surface insulation resistance (SIR) which would be more representative of the manufacturing materials and processes. IPC-9203A standard addresses the IPC-B-52 test vehicle, which can be used to evaluate a manufacturing process, or to provide objective evidence that a chosen manufacturing material set, and process are compatible, from a cleanliness standpoint. IPC-9203A user guideline has been written as a companion document to the IPC-9202, providing clarification on what a manufacturer “should” do and what they “must” do for demonstrating material and process compatibility.

Requirements and Acceptance for Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies

Notes:

This standard prescribes practices and requirements for the manufacture of cable, wire and harness assemblies.
This standard does not provide criteria for cross-section or X-ray evaluation.
If a conflict occurs between the English and translated versions of this document, the English version will take precedence.
The illustrations in this document portray specific points noted in the title of each section. A brief description follows each illustration. The development committee recognizes that different parts of the industry have different definitions for some terms used herein. For the purposes of this document, the terms cable and wire harness are used interchangeably.
IPC/WHMA-A-620 can be used as a stand-alone document for purchasing products, however it does not specify frequency of in-process inspection or frequency of end product inspection. No limit is placed on the number of process indicators or the number of allowable repair/rework of defects. Such information should be developed with a statistical process control plan (see IPC-9191).
1.2 Purpose This standard describes materials, methods, tests and acceptability criteria for producing crimped, mechanically secured, or soldered interconnections and the related assembly activities associated with cable and harness assemblies.
The intent of this document is to rely on process control methodology to ensure consistent quality levels during the manufacture of products.
Any method that produces an assembly conforming to the acceptability requirements described in this standard may be used.

Standards may be updated at any time, including with the use of amendments. The use of an amendment or newer revision is not automatically required. The revision in effect shall [D1D2D3] be as specified by the User.
1.3 Classification Use of this standard requires agreement on the Class to which the product belongs. The User has the ulti- mate responsibility for identifying the Class to which the assembly is evaluated. If the User does not establish and document the acceptance Class, the Manufacturer may do so. Criteria defined in this standard reflect three Product Classes, which are as follows:
Class 1 General Electronic Products
Includes products suitable for applications where the major requirement is the function of the completed assembly.
Class 2 Dedicated Service Electronic Products
Includes products where continued performance and extended life is required, and for which uninterrupted service is desired but not critical. Typically, the end-use environment would not cause failures.
Class 3 High Performance/Harsh Environment Electronic Products
Includes products where continued performance or performance-on-demand is critical, equipment downtime cannot be tolerated, end-use environment may be uncommonly harsh, and the equipment must function when required, such as life support systems and other critical systems.
1.4 Measurement Units and Applications This document uses the International System of Units (SI) in accordance with ASTM SI10-10, IEEE/ASTM SI 10, American National Standard for Metric Practice (Section 3). Imperial English equivalent units follow in brackets. The derived SI units used in this document are millimeters (mm) [in] for dimensions and dimensional tolerances, Celsius (°C) [°F] for temperature and temperature tolerances, grams (g) [oz] for weight, and lux (lx) [footcandles] for illuminance.
1.4.1 Verification of Dimensions Where not specifically invoked by this standard, actual measurements, e.g., of specific sol- der fillet dimensions, determination of damage and wrap percentages, are not required except for referee purposes.
1.5 Definition of Requirements The word ‘‘shall’’ is used in the text of this document wherever there is a requirement for materials, process or acceptance of cable, wire and harness assemblies.
Where the word shall indicates a requirement for at least one Class, the requirements for each Class are in brackets next to the shall requirement.

This standard is a collection of visual quality acceptability requirements for electronic assemblies. This standard doesnot provide criteria for cross-section evaluation.

This document presents acceptance requirements for the manufacture of electrical and electronic assemblies. Historically, elec-tronic assembly standards contained a more comprehensive tutorial addressing principles and techniques. For a more completeunderstanding of this document’s recommendations and requirements, one may use this document in conjunction withIPC-HDBK-001, IPC-AJ-820 and J-STD-001.

The criteria in this standard are not intended to define processes to accomplish assembly operations nor is it intended to autho-rize repair/modification or change of the product. For instance, the presence of criteria for adhesive bonding of components doesnot imply/authorize/require the use of adhesive bonding and the depiction of a lead wrapped clockwise around a terminal doesnot imply/authorize/require that all leads/wires be wrapped in the clockwise direction.

Users of this standard should be knowledgeable of the applicable requirements of the document and how to apply them, see1.3 Classification.

Requirements for Soldering Fluxes

Notes:

This standard prescribes general requirements for the classification and characterization of fluxes for high quality solder interconnections. This standard may be used for quality control and procurement purposes.
1.1 Purpose The purpose of this standard is to classify and characterize Sn-Pb and Pb-free soldering flux materials for use in electronic metallurgical interconnections for printed circuit board assembly. Soldering flux materials include the following: liquid flux, paste flux, solder paste, solder cream as well as flux-coated and flux-cored solder wires and preforms. It is not the intent of this standard to exclude any acceptable flux or soldering material; however, these materials must produce the desired electrical and metallurgical interconnection.
1.2 Classification
CLASS 1 General Electronic Products
Includes products suitable for applications where the major requirement is function of the completed assembly.
CLASS 2 Dedicated Service Electronic Products Includes products where continued performance and extended life is required, and for which uninterrupted service is desired but not critical. Typically, the end-use environment would not cause failures.
CLASS 3 High Performance/Harsh Environment Electronic
Products
Includes products where continued high performance or performance-on-demand is critical, equipment downtime cannot be tolerated, end-use environment may be uncommonly harsh, and the equipment must function when required, such as life support or other critical systems.
1.3 Measurement UnitsAll dimensions and tolerances in this specification are expressed in hard SI (metric) units and bracketed soft imperial [inch] units. Users of this specification are expected to use metric dimensions. All dimensions ≥ 1 mm [0.0394 in] will be expressed in millimeters and
inches. All dimensions < 1 mm [0.0394 in] will be expressed in micrometers and microinches.

1.4 Definition of Requirements The words shall or shall not are used in the text of this document wherever there is a requirement for materials, preparation, process control or acceptance. The word “should” reflects recommendations and is used to reflect general industry practices and procedures for guidance only. Line drawings and illustrations are depicted herein to assist in the interpretation of the written requirements of this Standard. The text takes precedence over the figures.
1.5 Process Control Requirements The primary goal of process control is to continually reduce variation in the processes, products, or services to provide products or processes meeting or exceeding User requirements. Process control tools such as IPC-9191, JESD557 or other User-approved system may be used as guidelines for implementing process control. Manufacturers of Class 3 products shall develop and implement a documented process control system. A documented process control system, if established, shall define process control and corrective action limits.
This may or may not be a statistical process control system. The use of “statistical process control” (SPC) is optional and should be based on factors such as design stability, lot size, production quantities, and the needs of the Manufacturer, see 4.6. Process control methodologies shall be used in the planning, implementation and evaluation of the manufacturing processes used to produce soldered electrical and electronic assemblies. The philosophy, implementation strategies, tools and techniques
may be applied in different sequences depending on the specific company, operation, or variable under consideration to relate process control and capability to end product requirements. When a decision or requirement is to use a documented
process control system, failure to implement process corrective action and/or the use of continually ineffective corrective actions would be grounds for disapproval of the process and associated documentation.

Acceptability for Electronic Assemblies

Notes:

Scope

This standard is a collection of visual quality acceptability requirements for electronic assemblies. This standard
does not provide criteria for cross-section evaluation or x-ray inspection. There are x-ray guidelines located in J-STD-001.
This document presents acceptance requirements for the manufacture of electrical and electronic assemblies. Historically,
electronic assembly standards contained a more comprehensive tutorial addressing principles and techniques. For a more
complete understanding of this document’s recommendations and requirements, one may use this document in conjunction
with IPC-HDBK-001 or IPC-AJ-820.
The criteria in this standard are not intended to define processes to accomplish assembly operations nor is it intended to authorize
repair/modification or change of the product. For instance, the presence of criteria for adhesive bonding of components does
not imply/authorize/require the use of adhesive bonding and the depiction of a leads/conductors wrapped clockwise around a
terminal does not imply/authorize/require that all leads/conductors be wrapped in the clockwise direction.
Users of this standard should be knowledgeable of the applicable requirements of the document and how to apply them, see
1.3 Classification.
IPC-A- 610 has criteria outside the scope of J-STD-001 defining mechanical and other workmanship requirements.Table 1 -1 is
a summary of related IPC documents that the user may want to be familiar with to better understand the requirements of this
document. For additional referenced documents see section 2 .0 Applicable Documents.

  IPC-AJ- 820   IPC-AJ-820 is a supporting document that provides information regarding the
  intent of this specification content and explains or amplifies the technical rationale
  for transition of limits through Acceptable to Defect condition criteria. In addition,
  supporting information is provided to give a broader understanding of the process
  considerations that are related to performance but not commonly distinguishable
  through visual assessment methods
  The explanations provided in IPC-AJ- 820 should be useful in determining disposition
  of conditions identified as Defect, processes associated with Process Indicators, as
  well as answering questions regarding clarification in use and application for defined
  content of this specification. Contractual reference to IPC-A- 610 does not additionally
  impose the content of IPC-AJ-820 unless specifically referenced in contractual
  documentation.

1.2 Purpose The visual standards in this document reflect the requirements of existing IPC and other applicable specifications.
For the content of this document to apply, the assembly/product should comply with other existing IPC requirements, such as
IPC- 7351, IPC-222X (where X is the last digit in the IPC document number), IPC-601 X and IPC-A-600. If the assembly does not
comply with these or with equivalent requirements, the acceptance criteria shall be defined between the User and Supplier.

Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies

Notes:

Scope This standard describes materials, methods and acceptance criteria for producing soldered electrical and electronic
assemblies. The intent of this document is to rely on process control methodology to ensure consistent quality levels during the
manufacture of products. It is not the intent of this standard to exclude any procedure, such as for component placement or for
applying flux and solder used to make the electrical connection.
The soldering operations, equipment, and conditions described in this document are based on electrical/electronic circuits
designed and fabricated in accordance with the specifications listed in Table 1-1.

1.2 Purpose This standard prescribes material requirements, process requirements and acceptability requirements for
the manufacture of soldered electrical and electronic assemblies. For a more complete understanding of this document’s
recommendations and requirements, one may use this document in conjunction with IPC-HDBK-001, IPC-AJ-820 and
IPC-A-610. Standards may be updated at any time, including with the addition of amendments. The use of an amendment or a
newer revision is not automatically required.
Note: See 1.7 Order of Precedence.
1.3 Classification This standard recognizes that electrical and electronic assemblies are subject to classifications by intended
end item use. Three general end product classes have been established to reflect differences in manufacturability, complexity,
functional performance requirements and verification (inspection/test) frequency.
Use of this standard requires agreement on the class to which the product belongs. The User has the responsibility for identifying
the class to which the assembly is produced. If the User does not establish and document the acceptance class, the Manufacturer
may do so.
CLASS 1 General Electronic Products
Includes products suitable for applications where the major requirement is function of the completed assembly.
CLASS 2 Dedicated Service Electronic Products
Includes products where continued performance and extended life is required, and for which uninterrupted service is desired
but not critical. Typically the end-use environment would not cause failures.
CLASS 3 High Performance/Harsh Environment Electronic Products
Includes products where continued high performance or performance-on-demand is critical, equipment downtime cannot be
tolerated, end-use environment may be uncommonly harsh, and the equipment must function when required, such as life
support or other critical systems.
1.4 Measurement Units and Applications This standard uses The International System of Units (SI) units per ASTM SI10,
IEEE/ASTM SI 10, Section 3 [Imperial English equivalent units are in brackets for convenience]. The SI units used in this standard
are millimeters (mm) inches [in] for dimensions and dimensional tolerances, Celsius (°C) Fahrenheit [°F] for temperature and
temperature tolerances, grams (g) ounces [oz] for weight and lux (lx) foot-candles [foot-candles] for illumination.
Note: This standard uses other SI prefixes (ASTM SI10, Section 3.2) to eliminate leading zeros (for example, 0.0012 mm
becomes 1.2 μm) or as alternative to powers-of-ten (3.6 x 103 mm becomes 3.6 m).

This standard prescribes general requirements for the classification and characterization of fluxes for high quality solder interconnections. This standard may be used for quality control and procurement purposes.
1.1 Purpose The purpose of this standard is to classify and characterize Sn/Pb and Pb-free soldering flux materials for use in electronic metallurgical interconnections for printed board assembly. Soldering flux materials include the following: liquid flux, paste flux, solder paste, solder cream as well as flux-coated and flux-cored solder wires and preforms. The fluxes involved relate to all aspects of application, such as: printed board fabrication, lead tinning, wave soldering, reflow and rework. Fluxes covered by this standard are intended for use in various applications in industry. It is not the intent of this standard to exclude any acceptable flux or soldering material; however, these materials must produce the desired electrical and metallurgical interconnection.
1.2 Classification
CLASS 1 General Electronic Products Includes products suitable for applications where the major requirement is function of the completed assembly.
CLASS 2 Dedicated Service Electronic Products Includes products where continued performance and extended life is required, and for which uninterrupted service is desired but not critical. Typically, the end-use environment would not cause failures.
CLASS 3 High Performance/Harsh Environment Electronic Products Includes products where continued high performance or performance-on-demand is critical, equipment downtime cannot be tolerated, end-use environment may be uncommonly harsh, and the equipment must function when required, such as life support or other critical systems.
1.3 Measurement Units All dimensions and tolerances in this specification are expressed in hard SI (metric) units and bracketed soft imperial [inch] units. Users of this specification are expected to use metric dimensions. All dimensions ≥ 1 mm [0.0394 in] will be expressed in millimeters and inches. All dimensions < 1 mm [0.0394 in] will be expressed in micrometers and microinches.
1.4 Definition of Requirements The words shall or shall not are used in the text of this document wherever there is a requirement for materials, preparation, process control or acceptance. The word “should” reflects recommendations and is used to reflect general industry practices and procedures for guidance only.
Line drawings and illustrations are depicted herein to assist in the interpretation of the written requirements of this Standard.
The text takes precedence over the figures.
1.5 Process Control Requirements The primary goal of process control is to continually reduce variation in the processes, products, or services to provide products or processes meeting or exceeding User requirements. Process control tools such as IPC-9191, JESD557 or other User-approved system may be used as guidelines for implementing process control.
Manufacturers of Class 3 products shall develop and implement a documented process control system.
A documented process control system, if established, shall define process control and corrective action limits.
This may or may not be a statistical process control system. The use of “statistical process control” (SPC) is optional and should be based on factors such as design stability, lot size, production quantities, and the needs of the Manufacturer, see 4.6.
Process control methodologies shall be used in the planning, implementation and evaluation of the manufacturing processes used to produce soldered electrical and electronic assemblies. The philosophy, implementation strategies, tools and techniques may be applied in different sequences depending on the specific company, operation, or variable under consideration to relate process control and capability to end product requirements.
When a decision or requirement is to use a documented process control system, failure to implement process corrective action and/or the use of continually ineffective corrective actions would be grounds for disapproval of the process and associated documentation

Specification for Electroless Nickel/Immersion Gold (ENIG) Plating for Printed Boards

Notes:

IPC-4552B standard sets the requirements for Electroless Nickel / Immersion Gold (ENIG) deposit thickness for applications including soldering, wire bonding, and as a contact finish. IPC-4552B standard is used to specify acceptance criteria to meet performance standards for IPC-6010 family of documents including IPC-6012, IPC-6013 and IPC-6018. The ENIG deposit specified using this document will meet the highest coating durability rating as specified in IPC-J-STD-003 printed board solderability specification.

SCOPE

This performance specification sets requirements for Electroless Nickel/Immersion Gold (ENIG) deposit thicknesses for applications including soldering, wire bonding and as a contact finish. It is intended for use by chemical suppliers, printed board manufacturers, electronics manufacturing services (EMS) and original equipment manufacturers (OEM). This standard may be used to specify acceptance criteria to meet performance requirements in addition to those found in the IPC-6010 series (IPC-6012, IPC-6013 and IPC-6018) of standards. The ENIG deposit specified by using this document will meet the highest coating durability rating as specified in the J-STD-003 printed board solderability specification.

This specification is based on three critical factors:

1) The ENIG plating process is in control producing a normal distribution for nickel and gold deposit thickness.

2) That the tool used to measure the deposit and therefore control the process is accurate and reproducible for the thickness range specified.

3) That the ENIG plating process results in uniform deposit characteristics.

If any of these three critical factors are not met, then the deposit produced will not meet the performance criteria defined herein.

1.1 Purpose This specification sets the requirements specific to ENIG as a surface finish (see Table 3-1 for a summary of these requirements).

1.2 Description ENIG is an electroless nickel layer capped with a thin layer of immersion gold (IAu). It is a multifunctional surface finish, applicable to soldering, aluminum and copper wedge wire bonding, press fit connections, and as a contact surface. The immersion gold layer protects the underlying nickel from oxidation/passivation over its intended life. However, this layer is not impervious and it will not pass the requirements of a ‘‘classic’’ porosity test as defined in ASTM B735 and IPC-TM-650, Methods 2.3.24, 2.3.24.1 and 2.3.24.2.

1.3 Classification IPC standards recognize that electrical and electronic assemblies are subject to classifications by intended end-item use. Three general end-product classes have been established to reflect differences in manufacturability, complexity, functional performance requirements, and verification (inspection/test) frequency. It should be recognized that there may be overlaps of equipment between classes.

CLASS 1 General Electronic Products Includes products suitable for applications where the major requirement is function of the completed assembly.

CLASS 2 Dedicated Service Electronic Products Includes products where continued performance and extended life is required, and for which uninterrupted service is desired but not critical. Typically, the end-use environment would not cause failures.

CLASS 3 High Performance/Harsh Environment Electronic Products Includes products where continued high performance or performance-on-demand is critical, equipment downtime cannot be tolerated, end-use environment may be uncommonly harsh, and the equipment must function when required, such as life support or other critical systems.

1.4 Measurement Units All dimensions and tolerances in this specification are expressed in hard SI (metric) units and bracketed soft imperial [inch] units. Users of this specification are expected to use metric dimensions. All dimensions ≥ 1 mm [0.0394 in] will be expressed in millimeters and inches. All dimensions < 1 mm [0.0394 in] will be expressed in micrometers and microinches.

IPC Releases IPC-6012EM, Medical Applications Addendum to IPC-6012E, Qualification and Performance Specification for Rigid Printed Boards

Notes:

IPC Releases IPC-6012EM, Medical Applications Addendum to IPC-6012E, Qualification and Performance Specification for Rigid Printed Boards

IPC is known for developing addendums to some of its most widely used standards for specific industry sector use, including military/aerospace, space flight, automotive and telecommunications.  Now, IPC has responded to requests from the medical device segment of the electronics industry and has released IPC-6012EM, Medical Applications Addendum to IPC-6012E, Qualification and Performance Specification for Rigid Printed Boards.

The IPC D-33AM Task Group developing IPC-6012EM realized that there are two different focuses for electronics in the medical device industry sector: the relatively high-volume production of “standard-sized” printed boards for medical diagnostic equipment applications; and the miniature, high density printed boards for very small devices which are often human body implantable.

“We understand the medical industry utilizes electronics in laser surgical devices, radiation emitting devices, x-ray machines, ultrasound devices and implantable where product failure can result in the high risk of injury to the patient,” noted John Perry, IPC director of printed board standards and technology. “IPC recognized the industry’s desire for more stringent printed board fabrication requirements than can be provided within the current IPC Class 3 Performance class for these types of medical devices. The IPC D-33AM Task Group was created to develop an addendum to the base IPC-6012E printed board performance specification that addresses those technological needs.” 

IPC’s family of printed board design standards (IPC-2220 series) and board performance specifications IPC-6010 series) make use of three IPC producibility levels, intended to convey to the end user an increasing cost and sophistication with respect to fabricating printed board features of smaller and smaller size. IPC-6012EM is the first addendum to an IPC specification that makes use of a new design level “D”, which was created to address the miniaturization level of medical devices. This new design level “D” goes beyond the typical feature sizes of what is typically considered “high density interconnect” (HDI) and addresses conductor width/spaces below 60 µm as well as via structures below 100 µm.

Many regulatory requirements provided by both the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union (EU), help ensure the safety and security of human beings (and animals) with respect to not only human and veterinary drugs and biological products, but also electronic medical devices. Examples include the EU Medical Device Directive, EU Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive and the EU Commission Regulations. As noted by Andres Ojalill, IPC technical staff liaison to the IPC D-33AM Task Group, “IPC-6012EM has been written to streamline the production of high reliability printed boards for medical devices in accordance with regulations mentioned above so that there are no gaps between technical and regulatory requirements.”

Generic Requirements for Surface Mount Design and Land Pattern Standard

Notes:

This document provides generic requirements on land pattern geometries used for the surface attachment of electronic components, as well as surface mount design recommendations for achieving the best possible solder joints to the devices assembled.
1.1 Purpose The intent of the information presented herein is to provide the appropriate size, shape and tolerance of surface mount land patterns to insure sufficient area for the appropriate solder fillet to meet the requirements of IPC J-STD-001, and also to allow for inspection, testing, and rework of those solder joints. Designers can use the information contained herein to establish standard land pattern geometries not only for manual designs but also for computer-aided design systems. Whether parts are mounted on one or both sides of the printed board, subjected to wave, reflow, or other type of soldering, the land pattern and part dimensions should be optimized to insure proper solder joint and inspection criteria.
Land patterns become a part of the printed board circuitry and they are subject to the producibility levels and tolerances associated with fabrication and assembly processes. The producibility aspects also pertain to the use of solder mask and the registration required between the solder mask and the conductor patterns.
In addition to the land pattern geometries required for proper solder joint formation, other mounting conditions must be considered, such as solder mask clearance, solder paste stencil aperture sizes, clearance between adjacent components, clearance between the bottom of the component and the printed board surface (if relevant), keep-out areas (if relevant), and suitable rules for adhesive applications. These additional features become part of the overall land pattern standard for each component type.
Note 1: The dimensions used for component descriptions have been extracted from standards listed in Section 2. Designers should refer to the manufacturer’s data sheet for specific component package dimensions.
Caution: Users should be aware that individual component data sheets may not meet standardized component outlines (.e.g., JEDEC standard component outlines).
Note 2: Elements of the mounting conditions, particularly the courtyard, given in this standard are related to the reflow soldering process. Adjustments for wave or other soldering processes, if applicable, have to be carried out by the user. This may also be relevant when solder alloys other than eutectic tin lead solders are used.
Note 3: This standard assumes that even under worst case tolerance conditions the opportunity for an acceptable solder fillet will be maintained.
Note 4: Heat dissipation aspects have not been taken into account in this standard. Greater mass may require slower process speed to allow heat transfer.
Note 5: For surface mount components, the solder joints provide not only the electrical connection, but the mechanical support as well. Heavier components (greater weight per land) require larger lands; thus, adding additional land pattern surface will increase surface area of molten solder to enhance capabilities of extra weight. In some cases the lands shown in this standard may not apply for a particular application and may need to be increased in a land pattern library; in these cases, considering additional measures may be necessary.
1.2 Documentation Hierarchy This standard identifies the generic physical design principles involved in the creation of land patterns for surface mount components, and is supplemented by a shareware IPC-7351 Land Pattern Calculator that provides, through the use of a graphical user interface, the individual component dimensions and corresponding land pattern recommendations based upon families of components. The IPC-7351 Land Pattern Calculator is provided on CD-ROM as part of this standard.
Updates to land pattern dimensions, including patterns for new component families, can be found on the IPC website (www.ipc.org) under the “Knowledge” menu, within “PCB Tools and Calculators.’’ See Appendix B for more information on the IPC-7351 Land Pattern Calculator.

Documentation Requirements for Printed Boards

Notes:

This standard establishes requirements and other considerations for the documentation of printed boards and printed board assemblies.
1.1 Purpose The purpose of this standard is to establish the general requirements for the preparation of drawings necessary to fully describe end product printed boards, printed board assemblies and related support drawings.
Special emphasis is given to the technical requirements necessary to fully describe the fabrication and assembly of various types of printed boards. Regardless of material, construction, layer count, special fabrication requirements, or end product usage, the documentation package may include, but not be limited to the following:
• Master Drawing Requirements
• Specifications
• Board Definition
• Artwork/Phototooling
• Soldermask Requirements
• Master Pattern Drawing
• Production Master
• Assembly Drawing and Parts List
• Electrical Test Requirements
• Final Schematic/Logic Diagram
• Related Support Drawings
• Artwork Plot Data
• Excellon Drill Data
Refer to IPC-D-275, ‘‘Design Standard for Rigid Printed Boards and Rigid Printed Board Assemblies,’’ regarding all subjects pertaining directly to design.
This standard may be used for both commercial and military applications. Printed boards and printed board assemblies intended for military usage shall be fabricated and/or assembled by a manufacturer that has been qualified to the appropriate military specification, unless otherwise agreed to contractually.
Documentation intended for military electronic equipment shall be so noted.
1.1.1 Organization of Information This standard is organized into various sections in order to provide information for the documentation of rigid printed boards and printed board assemblies

The major sections and their specific emphasis are:
Section 1 − Scope, Purpose and Classification
Section 2 − Applicable Documents
Section 3 − Documentation Requirements
Section 4 − Documentation Package
Section 5 − Sample Figures and Examples
Section 6 − Master Drawing Notes and Check List
Section 7 − Design Outputs
Section 8 − Printed Board Assembly Drawings
(Including Figures & Examples)
Section 9 − Printed Board Support Drawings
Section 10− Schematic / Logic Diagrams
1.2 Classification This standard recognizes that rigid printed boards and printed board assemblies are subject to classifications by intended end item use. Classification of producibility is related to complexity of the design and the precision required to produce the particular printed board or printed board assembly.
Any producibility level or producibility design characteristic may be applied to any end-product equipment category.
Therefore, a high-reliability product designated as class ‘‘3’’ (see 1.2.2), could require level ‘‘A’’ design complexity (preferred producibility) for many of the attributes of the printed board or printed board assembly (see 1.2.3).
1.2.1 Board Types This standard provides design information for different board types. Board types are classified:
Type 1 − Single-Sided Printed Board
Type 2 − Double-Sided Printed Board
Type 3 − Multilayer Board without Blind or Buried Vias
Type 4 − Multilayer Board with Blind and/or Buried Vias
Type 5 − Multilayer Metal-Core Board without Blind or Buried Vias
Type 6 − Multilayer Metal-Core Board with Blind and/or Buried Vias
1.2.2 Performance Classes Three general end-product classes have been established to reflect progressive increases in sophistication, functional performance requirements and testing/inspection frequency. It should be recognized that there may be an overlap of equipment between classes.

Specification for Flexible Base Dielectrics for use in Flexible Printed Boards

Notes:

SCOPE
This standard establishes the classification system, the qualification and quality conformance requirements for flexible base dielectric materials to be used for the fabrication of flexible printed boards.
1.1 Nomenclature Designation System The system described in 1.1.1 through 1.1.2.4 identifies flexible base dielectrics.
1.1.1 Nonspecific Designation A nonspecific designation is intended for use by designers on master drawings to designate their material choice. At the end of this standard is a series of material specification sheets identified by specification sheet numbers.
Each sheet outlines engineering and performance data for a flexible base dielectric, indicating base material type and method of reinforcement.
Example of nonspecific designation: IPC-4202/1, Where ‘‘1’’ refers to the specification sheet detailing unsupported polyimide flexible base dielectrics.
If further material specification details (such as dielectric thickness) are required, they should be highlighted in cross sectional views or notes on the master drawing.
1.1.2 Specific Designation The specific designation should be in the form shown in the following example, and is intended for use on material purchase orders by printed board manufacturers (see 6.1). The specific designation should not be used by designers on master drawings to indicate their material selection. Master drawings shall indicate the material design by designers on master drawings to indicate their material selection, as the designation is lengthy and requires fabricator level knowledge in making the detailed selections.
Example of specific designation:
IPC-4202/1 – E1E2
Where:
IPC-4202/1 – Nonspecific Designation (see 1.1.1), for unsupported polyimide flexible base dielectrics.
E Base Dielectric Material Type Designation (see 1.1.2.1), specifying polyimide.
1 Reinforcement Method Designation (see 1.1.2.2), specifying nonreinforced.
E Reinforcement Type Designation (see 1.1.2.3), specifying nonreinforced film.
2 Base Dielectric Material Thickness Designation (see 1.1.2.4), specifying 50 μm [1970 μin] thickness.

This standard applies to communication between all executable processes in the manufacture of printed board assemblies – automated, semiautomated and manual – and is applicable to related mechanical assembly and transactional processes.
1.1 Purpose With the growth and acceptance of digital modeling and practices in manufacturing, the lack of a holistic Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) standard for the transfer of information between machines, systems and processes has become a severe limitation to the growth of digitization and computerization in the electronics manufacturing industry, inhibiting technology innovations such as Industry 4.0 and Smart Factories being available to all companies in the industry, regardless of size, sector and location.
This Connected Factory Exchange (CFX) standard provides a true ‘‘plug and play’’ Internet of Things (IoT) communication environment throughout manufacturing, where all equipment, manufacturing processes and transactional stations can communicate with each other without the need for the development and use of bespoke interfaces. CFX-enabled equipment and solutions from different vendors work seamlessly together.
There are many types of users of this CFX standard, including equipment vendors, solution providers, in-house information technology (IT) groups, etc. The many types of data included in CFX are used in different ways depending on the application; for example, closed-loop feedback systems, live production dashboards, traceability (IPC-1782), manufacturing execution systems (MES) control, lean supply chain management, active quality management, production control, etc.
As CFX data is fully omnidirectional, any CFX endpoint connection can consume data as well as create it. As an illustration, consider the scenario in which a single machine from a certain vendor is connected in-line with other machines from different vendors. CFX messages are sent from the single machine to other machines in the line, and to host systems such as MES. The single machine can also receive CFX messages from all other machines in the line, as well as from the host systems in order to optimize the machine operation and enable the vendor of the machines to create added-value functionality, such as to support machine-specific Industry 4.0. In this way, a smart, digital, Industry 4.0 factory will be comprised of many different Industry 4.0 computerization applications, each of which can be provided by different suppliers, at the machine, line, site and even enterprise levels, all working together, sharing data seamlessly through CFX.
This CFX standard supports the concept of big data by including data of different types from across the factory, including performance, materials, resources, users, quality events, product tracking, etc., all of which can be combined to create a big-data environment. CFX, therefore, provides many kinds of added value opportunities to the whole manufacturing operation, including, for example, improving operational efficiency and productivity, quality and reliability, agility and responsiveness. This CFX standard helps organizations ensure that end users/consumers will receive products and services that meet or exceed theirexpectations and in the timeliest and most economically viable method.

Standard for Printed Board Handling and Storage

Notes:

Scope

This standard provides requirements and recommendations for proper handling, packaging materials and methods, environmental conditions, and storage for printed boards. The requirements and recommendations are intended to protect printed boards from contamination, physical damage, solderability degradation, electrostatic discharge (ESD) (when necessary), and moisture uptake. Moisture absorbed in printed board laminates expands at soldering temperatures, and in some cases, the resulting vapor pressure can cause internal delamination or excessive strain on plated-hole walls and other structures. This is especially challenging with the higher temperatures used for Pb-free soldering.
Note: This standard includes requirements for the handling, packaging and storage of printed boards and directly supersedes IPC-1601 Revision A from 2016.
This document covers all phases from the manufacture of the bare printed board, through delivery, receiving, stocking, assembly, and soldering.

Class 3 High Reliability Electronic Products — Includes the equipment and products where continued performance or performance on demand is critical. Equipment downtime cannot be tolerated and must function when required such as in life support items or flight control systems. Printed boards in this class are suitable for applications where high levels of assurance are required and service is essential.
1.3 Dimensions and Tolerances All dimensions and tolerances specified herein are applicable only to the end product. Dimensions are expressed in millimeters. Users are cautioned to employ a single system and not intermix metric and inch-based equivalents. Reference information is shown in parentheses ( ).
1.3.1 Acceptability When Limiting Values Are Specified Specified limiting values of 63.5 mm maximum, 63.50 mm maximum, and 63.500 mm maximum are taken to mean that, for the purposes of determining conformanceo this specification, an observed value shall be rounded off to the nearest 0.1 mm, 0.01 mm, 0.001 mm if metric units are used [to the nearest 0.1 inch, 0.01 inch, 0.001 inch if English units are used], and compared to the specified limiting value. Rounding applies to both maximum and minimum values.
1.3.2 Rounding Convention When a figure is to be rounded to fewer digits than the total number available, the procedure shall be as follows:
a) When the first digit discarded is less than 5, the last digit retained should not be changed. For example, 3.4634, if rounded to 4 digits would be 3.463; if rounded to three digits, 3.46.
b) When the first digit discarded is greater than 5, or if it is a 5 followed by at least one digit other than 0, the last digit retained should be increased by one unit. For example 8.37652, if rounded to four digits would be 8.377; if rounded to three digits, 8.38.
c) When the first digit to be discarded is exactly 5, followed only by zeros, the last digit retained should be rounded upward if it is an odd number, but no adjustment made if it is an even number. For example, 4.365, when rounded to three digits, becomes 4.36.
The number 4.355 would also round to the same value 4.36, if rounded to three digits.
The final rounded figure shall be obtained from the most precise value available and not from a series of successive roundings.
1.4 Interpretation ‘‘Shall,’’ the emphatic form of the verb, is used throughout this specification whenever a requirement is intended to express a provision that is binding. Deviation from a ‘‘shall’’ requirement may be considered if sufficient data is supplied to justify the exception.
The words ‘‘should’’ and ‘‘may’’ are used whenever it is necessary to express non-mandatory provisions. ‘‘Will’’ is used to express a declaration of purpose. To assist the reader, the word ‘‘shall’’ is presented in bold characters.
1.5 Contractual Agreements In cases where the stated parameters are inappropriate or insufficient, alternate parameters may be agreed upon between vendor and user.

Trusted Electronic Designer, Fabricator and Assembler Requirements

Notes:

SCOPE
This standard provides minimum requirements, policies and procedures for printed board design, fabrication, assembly, and cable and wire harness assembly organizations and/or companies to become trusted sources for markets requiring high levels of confidence in the integrity of delivered products. These trusted sources shall ensure quality, supply chain risk management (SCRM), security and chain of custody (ChoC).
Trusted source certification of non-U.S. printed board design, fabrication, assembly, and cable and wire harness assembly organizations requires a sponsor and to meet the requirements in Section 6, in lieu of section 3.3 and Section 4.
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is scheduled to be fully implemented by the end of Fiscal Year 2025. The rollout starts gradually, accelerating in Fiscal Year 2023. During this period there will be instances in which a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) supplier may not be required to meet CMMC but may be required to meet NIST SP 800-171 compliance.
Therefore, this revision of IPC-1791 contains reference to CMMC, and Section 5 provides clarification on the relationship between CMMC and NIST SP 800-171.
Demonstration of the ability to meet and maintain the requirements of this standard as trusted design, fabrication, assembly, or cable and wire harness assembly organizations benefits customers that provide end-products for markets desiring a high level of integrity assurance (e.g., commercial, industrial, military, aerospace, automotive and medical).
In the context of this standard, the terms trust and trusted are used to reflect a commitment to product and process integrity assurance by printed board designers, fabricators, assemblers, and cable and wire harness assemblers. The user should not confuse this certification with defense-microelectronics-specific “Trusted Supplier” accreditation administered by the Defense
Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) Trusted Access Program Office. IPC-1791 certification does not include DoD facility clearance unless compelled by customer-specific requirements and pursued independent of this standard.

Generic Standard on Printed Board Design

Notes:

SCOPE

This standard establishes the generic requirements for the design of organic printed boards and other forms of component mounting or interconnecting structures, including PC card form factors. The organic materials may be homogeneous, reinforced, or used in combination with inorganic materials; the interconnections may be single, double, or multilayered. The following overview describes what are the core knowledge and competencies to best serve in the role of Printed Board Design Layout as a stand-alone professional, or as the engineer performing this responsibility. Today’s printed board designer must address numerous perspectives for success within a given schedule, with the goal of making the first design iteration work as intended, summarized as:

• Layout Solvability - Complex Packaging Skill set

• Electrical Integrity - Signal & Power Performance on all Layers

• Manufacturability - DFX Considerations for High Yield and Lower Cost

• Application considerations – Environmental, Performance, Life Cycle, Sustainability, Reliability etc.

The result provides for optimal component placement, routing density and electrical performance to achieve an efficient design with high yield and defect-free manufacturability.

Specification for Finished Fabric Woven from Low Dk Glass for Printed Boards

Notes:

SCOPE
This specification covers finished fabrics woven from low Dk electrical grade glass fiber yarns that are intended as a reinforcing material in laminated plastics for electrical and electronic use. All fabrics covered by this specification are plain weave.
1.2 Purpose This specification determines the nomenclature, definitions, general and chemical requirements for the glass, and physical requirements for finished woven glass fiber fabrics.
1.3 Designation Appendix II of this standard provides a style designator for each finished fabric glass style, with specifications on yarn, fabric count, thickness and weight in both SI and US system. Fabrics listed in Appendix II also categorize fabrics by their current availability status.
1.4 Classification
CLASS 1 General Electronic Products Includes products suitable for applications where the major requirement is function of the completed assembly.
CLASS 2 Dedicated Service Electronic Products Includes products where continued performance and extended life is required, and for which uninterrupted service is desired but not critical. Typically, the end-use environment would not cause failures.
CLASS 3 High Performance/Harsh Environment Electronic Products Includes products where continued high performance or performance-on-demand is critical, equipment downtime cannot be tolerated, end-use environment may be uncommonly harsh, and the equipment must function when required, such as life support or other critical systems.
1.5 Measurement Units All dimensions and tolerances in this specification are expressed in hard SI (metric) units and bracketed soft imperial [inch] units. Users of this specification are expected to use metric dimensions. All dimensions ≥ 1 mm [0.0394 in] will be expressed in millimeters and inches. All dimensions < 1 mm [0.0394 in] will be expressed in micrometers and microinches.
1.6 Definition of Requirements The words shall or shall not are used in the text of this document wherever there is a requirement for materials, preparation, process control or acceptance.
The word “should” reflects recommendations and is used to reflect general industry practices and procedures for guidance only.
Line drawings and illustrations are depicted herein to assist in the interpretation of the written requirements of this Standard.
The text takes precedence over the figures.
1.7 Process Control Requirements The primary goal of process control is to continually reduce variation in the processes, products, or services to provide products or processes meeting or exceeding User requirements. Process control tools such as IPC-9191, JESD557 or other User-approved system may be used as guidelines for implementing process control.
Manufacturers of Class 3 products shall develop and implement a documented process control system.
A documented process control system, if established, shall define process control and corrective action limits.
This may or may not be a statistical process control system. The use of “statistical process control” (SPC) is optional and should be based on factors such as design stability, lot size, production quantities, and the needs of the Manufacturer, see 4.1.
Process control methodologies shall be used in the planning, implementation and evaluation of the manufacturing processes used to produce soldered electrical and electronic assemblies. The philosophy, implementation strategies, tools and techniques may be applied in different sequences depending on the specific company, operation, or variable under consideration to relate process control and capability to end product requirements.
When a decision or requirement is to use a documented process control system, failure to implement process corrective action and/or the use of continually ineffective corrective actions would be grounds for disapproval of the process and associated documentation.

• Replace the electrical SMEMA interface as specified in IPC-SMEMA-9851
• Extend the interface to communicate:
– Unique identifiers for the handled printed circuit boards (PCBs)
– Equipment identifiers of the first machine noticing a PCB
– Barcodes
– Conveyor speed and intended board route
– A lightweight digital twin of the product containing, e.g.,
▪ Product type identifier
▪ Length
▪ Width
▪ Thickness
▪ Board state

Hints on naming:
• Wherever a feature is described by the word “shall” it is mandatory.
• The word “machine” is used for any equipment which can be found in a SMT production line (e.g., printers, placement machines, ovens, AOIs, transport modules, shuttles, stackers).
• The term “PCB” may also refer to carriers transporting PCBs.
• The word “Hermes” is used as abbreviation for “The Hermes Standard”.
• “The Hermes Standard” and IPC-HERMES-9852 are synonyms for the standard specified in this document and might be used interchangeably.

Rail Transit Addendum to IPC/WHMA-A-620C

Notes:

Scope This Addendum provides additional requirements specified for rail transit applications over those published in IPC/WHMA-A-620C. It prescribes the practices and requirements for the manufacture of cable, wire and harness assemblies in rail transit industry, and it applies to Class 3 to ensure industry-specific high reliability and environmental adaptability.
This Addendum is used in conjunction with IPC/WHMA-A-620C.
For the purpose of this Addendum, if a conflict occurs between the English version and other versions of this document, the English version will take precedence.
This Addendum particularly supplements or replaces Class 3 requirements in IPC/WHMA-A-620C. Clauses not involved and requirements not mentioned, i.e., Class 1, 2 requirements, are subject to the corresponding provisions of IPC/WHMA-A-620C.
The clauses modified by this Addendum do not include subordinate clauses unless specifically stated, i.e., changes made to 1.7 do not affect 1.7.1, unless 1.7.1 is also addressed in this Addendum.
When a paragraph, e.g., the first paragraph in 15.1 of this Addendum, refers to an entire section, i.e., section 15, it’s the Responsibility of the Addendum users to determine which clauses from that section are used from IPC/WHMA-A-620C and which clauses are covered by this Addendum.
Tables/Figures, including newly added as well as original or modified from IPC/WHMA-A-620C, in a section in this Addendum are numbered from “1R”, e.g., Figure 3-1R, 3-2R, Table 3-1R, 3-2R in section 3.
This Addendum does not specify frequency of in-process or frequency of end-product inspection. No limit is placed on the number of Process Indicators or the number of allowable repair/rework of defects. Such information should be developed with a SPC plan (see IPC-9191). Whenever special process is involved, e.g. soldering, crimp, ISO/TS 22163 and relevant documents shall apply.

IPC-1751A:2010 - Start year: : 2010
Description:

Amendment 1 to IPC-1751A standard provides the principles and details for declarations necessary between members of a supply chain relationship. This standard is the first in a series of standards that permits segmentation of declaration details based on the subject and scope of the declaration as well as the manufacturing domain. This standard contains general information and is supplemented by Sectional standards requiring more detailed information such as material declarations, quality profiles, or codes of conduct.

The 175x family of supplier declaration standards include: manufacturing process declaration (IPC-1751), materials declaration (IPC-1752), printed board declaration (IPC-1753), conflict minerals declaration (IPC-1755) assembly technology declaration (IPC-1756), and declaration of shipping, packing and packaging materials (IPC-1758).

In this revision of the 175x series, only the data format and functional requirements are specified. Development of human readable data entry and viewing tools are intentionally left in the domain of third party software providers.

Amendment 1 released November 2012.

Notes:

This standard provides the principles and details necessary for declarations between members of a supply chain. Although this 1751A standard contains only generic information regarding trading partners, when combined with another specific 175x Sectional standard, the resulting document set is used to define and maintain the declaration information. The requirements pertain to both hard copy and electronic data descriptions. This standard provides for the creation of a record between trading partners, and therefore the data communicated may be used to help support and demonstrate due diligence in any subsequent representation based upon its contents.

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of the standard is to establish a methodology for a product or business attribute declaration process between suppliers and their customers which will define the form, structure, and content of the declaration to such an extent that it may be conveyed electronically without the necessity of human intervention. The standard benefits its adherents by providing consistency, efficiency, and integrity to the declaration process. 

The purpose of this document is also to describe in text what the electronic data content consists of, so that its capabilities can be assessed, judged, and adopted by those in need of such a standardized approach to information exchange.

 Because organizations may choose to verify information provided under this standard, brief procedures are described within this standard for such verification (see Section 8).

1.2 Intent

The intent of the 175x standard set is to establish a standard data exchange format that will facilitate, improve, and secure data transfer between all members of a supply chain.

The intent of the 1751A standard is to define the generic information comprising the basis for such data exchange: who is  requesting or making the declaration, basic identification and contact information for the party or parties involved, if there  is a requester, then who is the recipient of the request, when is this happening, and similar basic information. The 1751A standard then intends to provide definition of the electronic data exchange format sufficient to convey mandatory and  optional data contents.

IPC-1751A is ‘‘generic’’ because it specifies only basic identification and communication information which form the basis for further specific declarations. IPC-1751A is therefore intended to be used in conjunction with other 175x standards as needed which may be employed similar to menu items, building on the 1751A foundation.

Part of the intent is also to provide mechanisms for securing the integrity of the information exchanged.

1.3 Documentation Hierarchy

This 1751A standard establishes the generic requirements for a declaration process used to provide information with respect to a specified product or products on subjects of concern arising in the course of conducting business.

Declaration specifics are defined by each standard in the IPC-175x series of standards. Each standard has a specific focus and shall

be used, as appropriate, to describe a particular declaration process. The Sectional standards and their focus are:

Version 2.0:

IPC-1751A Generic Requirements for Declaration Process Management

IPC-1752A Materials Declaration Management

IPC-1756 Manufacturing Process Data Management

IPC-1758 Declaration of Shipping, Packing and Packaging Materials

Start Year / Status
IPC-1752A:2014 - Start year: : 2014
Description:

IPC-1752A establishes a standard reporting format for material declaration data exchange between supply chain participants and supports reporting of bulk materials, components, printed boards, sub-assemblies, and products. This standard is not supported directly by a PDF form. Third party software developers are invited to supply the implementation tool, and one organization has already made a free download implementation tool available. In the A revision, the data exchange format is specified as Extensible Markup Language (XML).

Amendment 2 provides important enhancements to the standard including: new Reportable Application field for use with new IEC 62474 Declarable Substances list in Appendix F to align with IEC 62474; clarification on the use of SubProduct in Class D XMLs to align with IEC 62474; clarification on reporting RoHS Exemptions tied to RoHS Exemption Lists in Class D XMLs and: addition of a new list for ELV exemptions in Appendix B. 53 pages. Released 2014.

While IPC-1751 defines the generic requirements for declaration process management, IPC-1752 establishes a standard reporting format for material declaration data exchange between supply chain participants and supports reporting of bulk materials, components, printed circuit boards (PCBs), sub-assemblies, and products. This standard defines the content and requirements for four distinct classes of declarations that can be used between members of a supply chain relationship.

1752 - Class A: Declaration Query/Reply

1752 - Class B: Material Group Declaration

1752 - Class C: Material Composition Summary Declaration - Product Level

1752 - Class D: Material Composition Declaration - Homogeneous Material Level, with JIG-101 (latest revision) list

The initial focus of material reporting is the Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003, on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS). In April, 2005 the Electronic Industries Alliance, Japan Green Procurement Survey Standardization Initiative and the Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) published the Joint Industry Guide Material Composition Decla-

ration for Electronic Products (JIG-101), which established the materials and substances to be disclosed by suppliers when those materials and substances are present in products and subproducts that are incorporated into electrical and electronic

equipment. The IPC-1752 standard supports the substance disclosure requirements outlined by the latest version of JIG-101 and accommodates disclosure of additional substance information.

There are several appendices to the 1752 which represent various lists taken from legal directives and other standard bodies. These lists are subject to change; therefore, corresponding appendices in this standard will be amended to reflect those changes at regular intervals. In addition, some substances/materials may exist on more than one list, and since a requester may require meeting more than one material reporting convention described in the appendices, users should be aware that duplicate reporting of a single substance in a material could result from adhering to the reporting conventions of more than one appendix. Tool designers for 1752 implementation are cautioned to consider screening to remove duplication prior to

summing the mass or calculating mass percentages.

This standard will be updated to reflect changes affecting the global market. The methodology for update is described in the section on standard maintenance.

Version 1.1 of this standard was supported by two Portable Document Format (PDF) forms (1752-1 and 1752-2) and the

Users Guide (1752-3). However, starting with version 2.0, this standard will not be supported directly with a PDF form.

Third party software developers are invited to supply the implementation tool, and one organization has already made a free

download implementation tool available. In version 2.0 the data exchange format is specified as Extensible Markup Language (XML).

Using a software tool of the user’s choice, relevant data can be saved locally and submitted electronically back to the requester. The data structure is based on an underlying Unified Modeling Language (UML) model, which in turn is represented by an XML schema which is used to validate the XML data files. The schema and model are included in Figure 4-1and Appendix E.

End product producers and customers throughout the supply chain are requesting that suppliers provide material declarations so that the recipient is aware of the presence and amount of certain chemicals in the products it procures. This standard defines the creation of a document or electronic record that will serve as a standard way for reporting and collecting this type of data.

Notes:

This standard establishes the requirements for exchanging material and substance data between suppliers and their customers for electrical and electronic product. This standard applies to products, components, subproducts and materials that are

supplied to producers of electrical and electronic products for incorporation into their products. It covers materials and substances that may be present in the supplied product or sub-product. It does not apply to process chemicals, unless those process chemicals constitute part of the finished product or sub-product.

This standard applies to business-to-business transactions. It is not intended to be used by the general public when making purchasing decisions. The standard is not a compliance guide. As revisions to the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive and the European Union’s REACH Regulation are released, this standard will be updated.

Exemptions are for specific applications as defined, and management of usage and expirations are between the requester and the supplier.

1.1 Purpose

This standard is intended to benefit suppliers and their customers by providing consistency and efficiency to the material declaration process. It establishes standard electronic data exchange formats that will facilitate and improve data-transfer along the entire global supply chain.

1.2 Classes

This standard establishes four classes for declaration of materials. Classes may be combined as desired.

Requirements for Solder Pastes

Notes:

Scope

This standard prescribes general requirements for the characterization and testing of solder pastes used to make high quality electronic interconnections. This specification is a material quality control document and is not intended to relate
directly to the material’s performance in the assembly process. Solder paste users are referred to paragraph 6.3 for a listing of requirements information and options that should be addressed when procuring solder paste.
1.2 Purpose This standard defines the characteristics of solder paste through the definitions of properties and specification of test methods and inspection criteria. The materials include solder powder and solder paste flux blended to produce solder paste.
Solder powders are classified by the shape of the particles and size distribution of the particles. It is not the intent of this standard to exclude particle sizes or distributions not specifically listed. The flux properties of the solder paste, including
classification and testing, shall be based on J-STD-004. The solder alloy properties of solder paste, which includes requirements, shall be based on J-STD-006. The requirements for solder paste are defined in general terms. Users can perform additional tests
(beyond the scope of this specification) to determine the acceptability of the solder paste for specific processes.
1.3 Quality/Performance Classification Three general classes have been established to reflect progressive increases in inspection and testing frequency. It should also be recognized that there is typically an overlap between classes. In many cases
the difference between classes is one of attribute assurance level not attribute difference. The user has the responsibility to determine the class into which his product belongs. Testing and inspection requirements in this specification have been separated
so the metallic foils may be tested to any one of the three quality/performance classes.
The three classes are:
Class 1 Material in this class is suitable for applications where mechanical properties and cosmetic defects are not important, and the only requirement is functionality of the complete circuit. This material has no prescribed inspection and testing requirements.
Class 2 Material in this class is suitable for use where circuit design, process yield, and specification conformance requirements allow localized areas of nonconformance. This material has moderate levels of assurance, demonstrated via the use of testing and/or statistical process control (SPC)/statistical quality control (SQC) techniques.
Class 3 Material in this class is suitable for applications where high levels of assurance are required. These levels of assurance shall be demonstrated via the use of testing and/or SPC/SQC techniques.
1.4 Measurement Units This Standard uses International System of Units (SI) units per ASTM SI10, IEEE/ASTM SI 10, Section 3 [Imperial English equivalent units are in brackets for convenience]. The SI units used in this Standard are millimeters
(mm) [in] for dimensions and dimensional tolerances, Celsius (°C) [°F] for temperature and temperature tolerances, grams (g) [oz] for weight, and lumens (lm) [footcandles] for illuminance.
Note: This Standard uses other SI prefixes (ASTM SI10, Section 3.2) to eliminate leading zeroes (for example, 0.0012 mm becomes 1.2 μm) or as an alternative to powers-of-ten (3.6 x 103 mm becomes 3.6 m).
1.5 Definition of Requirements The words shall or shall not are used in the text of this document wherever there is a requirement for materials, preparation, process control or acceptance. The word “should” reflects recommendations and is used to reflect general industry practices and procedures for guidance only. Line drawings and illustrations are depicted herein to assist in the interpretation of the written requirements of this Standard. The text takes precedence over the figures.
1.6 Process Control Requirements The use of “statistical process control” (SPC) is optional and should be based on factors such as design stability, lot size, production quantities, and the needs of the Manufacturer. See paragraph 4.6 for the quality assurance section regarding SPC.
1.7 Order of Precedence The contract shall take precedence over this Standard, referenced standards and drawings.
