IPC COMMUNITY 71 SUMMER 2023 certificates for both IPC-A-610/IPC-J- STD-001 QML and IPC/WHMA-A-620 QML. • In 2022, Haier COSMOPlat applied for QML in its five factories. Through IPC's QML services, Haier COSMOPlat could better understand the current situation and how to optimize opportunities in its factories, improving the quality and service level of its products. Wen Guiqin, quality director of Haier COSMOPlat, expressed her appre- ciation for the IPC QML audit process. "It is an honor that the five interconnected factories of Haier COSMOPlat have been awarded IPC QML certificates," she said. "We will work hard to live up to our cus- tomers' trust, providing better products and services to them worldwide." • In March 2023, KO-M TECH became the first company in South Korea to get an IPC QML certificate. In addition to China, audits are scheduled this summer for new manufacturers in Thailand and Vietnam. To meet the growing demand for IPC QML service, IPC Asia auditors traveled in April to Suzhou, China, right after China lifted its international travel control measures, for a week-long auditor training program. Our audi- tors from China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam were honored to be hosted by a long-term IPC member Askey Technology (Jiangsu) Ltd. It's not an easy task to host a multinational group, but Askey's careful planning ensured that the training proceeded smoothly on their manufacturing floor. For example, each auditor had a companion who would respond quickly to questions; to help the auditors feel at home, Askey prepared different meals from their respective countries. The IPC Asia team is very grateful for Askey's hospitality. Askey is one of the earliest manufacturers to receive IPC QML qualification in China. Haier COSMOPlat is awarded IPC QML certificates.
