IPC-A-610

We train your staff in IPC-A-610. IPC‑A‑610 is the international industry standard that defines what constitutes acceptable soldering and assembly. In an industry where margins are tight and reliability requirements are high, knowledge of this standard is essential to ensure that the end product meets the highest possible quality according to Class 1, 2 or 3. The training provides an in-depth understanding of how to interpret the visual acceptance requirements for electronic devices. By learning to distinguish between target conditions, acceptable deviations and defects, production can reduce rework, lower costs and increase customer confidence. Course content in brief • Classification (Class 1, 2 and 3): Quality levels from consumer electronics to high-performance medical and military equipment. • Handling and ESD: Protection against electrostatic discharges and proper handling of sensitive materials. •Soldering criteria: Assessment of solder joints for both surface mount (SMT) and through hole (PTH) components. •Mechanical assembly: Requirements for placement, orientation and assembly of contacts and fasteners. •Defects and deviations: Identification of faults such as short circuits, cold solder joints, contamination and laminate damage. Benefits of IPC certification For company: •Increased customer confidence: Meets requirements from clients in the medical technology, defense and automotive industries. •Economic efficiency: Early identification of faults reduces costs for rework and complaints. •Common technical language: Ensures a uniform quality assessment throughout production. For individual: •Global professional identification: As a Certified IPC Specialist (CIS), you receive an internationally recognized certificate. •Competence development: Strengthened professional role and increased self-confidence in inspection and quality decisions. Examination and certificate Upon successful completion, a personal certificate is received that is valid for 24 months.
