Extending standard for auto industry 03/11/2008
 
Responding to approaches from the automotive industry, IPC – Association Connecting Electronics Industries is to host a meeting with European automotive industry leaders to investigate adding automotive specific requirements for electronics used in cars, trucks and military vehicles to IPC-A-610D.
IPC-A-610D, entitled ‘Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies’, lays out industry accepted workmanship criteria for electronics assemblies.
A kick off meeting will be held during electronica 2008. “The goal of this first meeting is to form a committee of representatives from the global automotive industry in order to address fundamental technologies, coupled with high quality requirements and standards,” says Lars Wallin, IPC European representative. “Ideally, we would like to publish an automotive addendum to IPC-A-610D within nine to twelve months.”
