This standard is a collection of visual quality acceptability requirements for electronic assemblies. This standard does not provide criteria for cross-section evaluation or x-ray inspection. There are x-ray guidelines located in J-STD-001.
This document presents acceptance requirements for the manufacture of electrical and electronic assemblies. Historically, electronic assembly standards contained a more comprehensive tutorial addressing principles and techniques. For a more complete understanding of this document’s recommendations and requirements, one may use this document in conjunction with IPC-HDBK-001 or IPC-AJ-820.
The criteria in this standard are not intended to define processes to accomplish assembly operations nor is it intended to authorize repair/modification or change of the product. For instance, the presence of criteria for adhesive bonding of components does not imply/authorize/require the use of adhesive bonding and the depiction of a leads/conductors wrapped clockwise around a terminal does not imply/authorize/require that all leads/conductors be wrapped in the clockwise direction.
Users of this standard should be knowledgeable of the applicable requirements of the document and how to apply them, see 1.3 Classification.
