I found a proposal which read as follows:

"Inspection and acceptability of rigid printed wiring boards shall be in
accordance with IPC-A-600 and IPC 6011 Class 3."

I am trying to use logic here and that may be the root of my problem.

In the same proposal there is a line which reads:

"Inspection and acceptability of electronic assemblies shall be in
accordance with IPC-A-610 Class 3."

Since we certify our personnel to 610, my logic says we need to certify
to 600.

Or is there a technical out somewhere that I am missing?

Thanks in advance,

Phil

This seemed like a no brainer to me but I am getting heavy resistance
when I recommend certification for those who inspect PWBs.

My question is do you have your personnel who are performing incoming
inspection on PWBs trained and certified to IPC-A-600?

We currently only train and certify to J-STD-001 and IPC-A-610 and our
product is class 3.
