Hi Jack,

I believe the words you are looking for in IPC-6012C are in section 3.1, General.  Here is the reference to meeting the generic requirements of IPC-6011.  So in the case of this document, the wording is a little farther in than the other documents, which has such language in section 1.

Subject: [IPC-600-6012] Document Sets

I have a question about how document sets are structured, in particular comparing the 6010 series with others like 2220 or 2610 series.

IPC-2222 specifically incorporates all of the generic IPC-2221 with this
statement:

1.1 Purpose The requirements contained herein are intended to establish specific design details that shall be used in conjunction with IPC-2221

IPC-2614 (for example) incorporates everything in the generic IPC-2611

3 REQUIREMENTS The requirements of IPC-2611 are a mandatory part of this standard.

What this says to me is that the documentation only needs to call out the specific standard to get the requirements of BOTH the specific and the genericl standards.

Logically I assume that the same holds true for IPC-6011 and IPC-6012, but in my latest copy of 6012C (PROPOSED STANDARD FOR BALLOT - JANUARY 2010) I don't see any wording like this. Am I losing my mind? Do I have to call out BOTH of them on my fabrication drawing?

onward thru the fog,
Jack
