Larry,
     
     IPC-A-610 is considered an industry workmanship standard that assists 
     process inspectors in evaluating the acceptability of electronic 
     assemblies.  The 610 document gets their requirements from the J-STD-001 
     document.  Rev B is the current revision of the document.  As to whether it 
     is appropriate to call out the standard on a print probably depends on the 
     customer who will be using the product and whether in your contracts with 
     that/those customers, you have agreed to adhere to the J-STD-001 
     requirements and /or the IPC-A-610 standard.  Let me know if you have any 
     further questions.

I have an engineer calling out IPC-A-610-B on a drawing.  Is this legit and 
if it is what is the B for?  Issue?
