Hi Dale,

We've always thought of J-STD-001 as the "how to" book and the IPC-A-610
as the "inspection criteria".

I believe that if you combined the two you'd end up with a pretty big
document. We like having the 610 on the line as a reference without all
the verbiage of the 001.

Just my Thursday $ .02!

Subject: [TN] Differences - Similarities between J-STD-001 and IPC-A-610

After reviewing each of these documents I have to ask - why have both?
They
cross over on so many lines I stopped counting. I suppose I'm missing
the
most obvious, but it looks like we have some unnecessary duplication
here. 

Need your opinions, please (humble or otherwise)... Why have both? What
are
the intrinsic differences between them that make it imperative to have
both?
There must be some since we still use both. Can they be combined into
one,
all encompassing document? If not, why not?

Just waxing philosophical this morning and would like your opinions in
the
matter.

Thanks in advance,
