IPC-A-610 Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies now has the same DoD adoption status as another industry standard IPC/EIA J-STD-001C Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies, and the companion IPC-HDBK-001 w/Amendment 1 Handbook and Guide to Supplement J-STD-001 (Includes J-STD-001B to C Comparison).

I downloaded the adoption notice from the DODSSP QuickSearch Assist website http://astimage.daps.dla.mil/quicksearch/. This is an "open" site and anyone can download the notice. Give me a couple of days to work through the process and I'll also get the adoption notice downloadable from the IPC-A-610C description page in the online bookstore www.ipc.org/bookstore.
