IPC-A-610 (CIS)

This operator course provides visual accept/reject criteria examples for all three classes of products based on the IPC-A-610 standard.

Description

IPC-A-610 certification is for individuals responsible for ensuring the quality and reliability of electronic assemblies. IPC-A-610, Acceptability of Electronics Assemblies, is the industry's most widely used inspection standard, setting the bar for end-product acceptance criteria in both consumer and high-reliability electronic assemblies. Certification in this course signifies a commitment to continuous improvement in product quality and reliability and provides individuals with a portable credential demonstrating their understanding of IPC-A-610. 

This certification program is suitable for line workers, operators, inspectors, and buyers who need to make acceptance or rejection decisions regarding electronic assemblies. The course covers comprehensive accept/reject criteria for various aspects of electronic assemblies, including mechanical and component installation, soldering, cleanliness, markings, coatings, and more. IPC-A-610 Certified IPC Specialist (CIS) students are evaluated on their mastery of IPC-A-610 criteria. The class doesn't include hand soldering instruction. To earn certification, participants must make correct "accept/reject" decisions based on IPC-A-610 requirements and achieve an overall score of 70% or better on IPC examinations.
