I believe I miss used the word "Qualify".
I think we agree.
"In order for the user to apply and use the content of this document
(IPC-A-610), the assembly/product should comply with other existing IPC
requirement, such as IPC-SM-782, IPC-2221, IPC-6011 and IPC-A-600. If the
assembly does not comply with these or equivalent requirement, then the
acceptance criteria needs to be defined between the customer and supplier."
(The 610 acceptance criteria may not apply).
"For a more complete understanding of this document's recommendations and
requirements, one may use this document in conjunction with IPC-HDBK-001 and
J-STD-001."
The MIL-Q-2000 paradigm is dead. Process, Process, Process. The J-STD-001
makes allowance for risk associated with Class 1 and Class 2 products.
If I was a salesman I would proclaim IPC-A-610 acceptability
If I was a buyer I would demand J-STD-001 compliance.
If I was an investor I would seek companies with knowledge of the
difference.
