IPC-1782B
Standard for Manufacturing and Supply
Chain Traceability of Electronic Products
IPC-1782B establishes minimum requirements
for manufacturing and supply chain traceabil-
ity based on perceived risk. IPC-1782B applies
to all products, processes, assemblies, parts,
components, equipment used, and other items
as defined by users and suppliers in the man-
ufacture of printed board assemblies, as well
as mechanical assembly and printed board
fabrication.
IPC/WHMA-A-620E-S
Revision E—Addendum—Space and Military:
Space and Military Applications Electronic
Hardware Addendum to IPC/WHMA-A-620
IPC/WHMA-A-620E-S space addendum pro-
vides additional requirements to IPC/WHMA-
A-620E standard to ensure the reliability of
cable and wire harness assemblies that must
survive the vibration and thermal excursions
encountered getting to and operating in the
military and space environments.
IPC-2591-V1.6
Connected Factory Exchange (CFX)
IPC-2591, Version 1.6 establishes the require-
ments for the omnidirectional exchange of
information between manufacturing pro-
cesses and associated host systems for assem-
bly manufacturing. The standard applies to
communication between all executable pro-
cesses in the manufacture of printed board
assemblies, automated, semi-automated, and
manual, and is applicable to related mechani-
cal assembly and transactional processes.
IPC-9203A
Users Guide to IPC-9202 and the IPC-B-52
Standard Test Vehicle
While there are a variety of industry test vehi-
cles for the examination of material compati-
bility, the IPC-B-52 test board was created to
meet the needs for testing both ion chromato-
graph 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 man-
ufacturing process, or to provide objective evi-
dence that a chosen manufacturing material
set and process are compatible from a clean-
liness standpoint.
