David, 
I really enjoyed the blog, and I am forwarding it to PWB designers within GD and other companies.

Subject: [TN] Decoupling Performance Class and Quality Assurance testing?

Along with John Perry, I just made a post to IPC’s blog site about quality assurance testing to IPC board standards.  The first paragraph is below.  I would be very interested in some discussion on this topic on the blog site.  Here is the link:

http://blog.ipc.org/

How much do you know about IPC’s PCB performance documents IPC-6012 or IPC-6013 Class 3 requirements?  Sure, everybody wants Class 3, and why not?  The performance classification carries with it the highest level of end product reliability, but does everybody need it?  Class 3 was developed for end products where down time means human life is endangered (life support equipment, critical weapon systems, etc.).  Is Class 3 appropriate for everyone (IPC, for example, is aware of some military end products that are built to Class 2 requirements)?  Even though Class 2 would yield acceptable product in many cases, some customers want the end product built to Class 3, end of discussion……………



Best regards,
Dave
