Don:
I do believe your HR department is up against the American Disability Act which states (non-legal opinion here) that we can't discriminate against workers. If they prove they can do the job, you're stuck with them. Inspection can be quite subjective so it would be quite hard to "prove" (sufficiently to win a court case) they can't do their job functions. Coming from California (the left coast) the employees usually win such arguments. Alas common sense is not always appreciated.

Sorry, I should have stated that...Theyre all using the 610/001 specified magnification ranges on "qualified" magnification aids (per IPC-OI-645).
My issue is that inspectors may have 20/80 vision, with glasses, and still be "certified" for inspection. How could they stare through a scope and accurately discern a cracked 0201 or solder fill criteria if they only see a blurry mass.
Im convinced that its a good thing, but I have to overcome the power of the HR department (dun, dun, dun) and justify it with industry consensus before theyre willing to take it further.

Hmmm... interesting. Does it matter if they use a magnification aid?

Yes. We require inspectors to pass an annual vision exam to 20-20 corrected.

Subject: [TN] Should inspectors be able to see?
Does anyone have a standard for an inspector's ability to see? We have required them to pass color-blind testing in the past, but have recently mulled over a visual acuity requirement. I wondered if this is more normal than not, because it seems like we would want to ensure that they see lines with definition rather than blurry masses.
I humbly look forward to any input that may be offered.
Don
