Who needs training on the IPC-A-610?
Any person who is responsible for quality and reliability of electronic
assemblies :- i.e. quality supervisors and engineering manufacturing
supervisors with assembly responsibilities would all make excellent
candidates for training.
How Does the IPC-A-610 Training and Certification Programme Works?
The IPC-A-610 training and certification programme has two tiers
of instruction - Certified Trainers and Application Specialists.
Candidates are sent by their companies to receive four days of
training in the IPC-A-610 document at an approved certification
training centre.
Once they have completed the course, and have passed the examination,
Trainers are then qualified to train their company’s workers in
the IPC-A-610 Application Specialist training programme.
This programme will greatly assist companies dedicated to ISO-9000
or other quality assurance initiatives. As the IPC specification
is a widely accepted standard, this will have immediate recognition
throughout the electronics industry.
Topics Covered in the IPC-A-610 Training Course
- Role and responsibilities of trainers
- Handling electronic assemblies
- Criteria for hardware installation - threaded fasteners, connector pins
- Soldering requirements for terminals and plated through holes, including lead free
