There should be a lot of the same information in these two 
documents.  The J/STD-001 is the engineering requirements 
document while the A-610 is the minimum acceptable criteria for 
those requirements shown pictorially.  Take a look at the A-610 
foreword on page vi.  This defines the documents relationship to 
each other.

If you are standardizing your assembly design or processing 
standards use the J/STD-001.  If you are standardizing your 
assembly workmanship acceptability standards, ie. is it 
acceptable or nonconforming product at some inspection point, use 
the A-610.

Hope this is helpful.

We are in the process of standardizing our assembly standards 
for pwa's.

Should we be referencing IPC-A-610 or ANSI/J-STD-001 
or both.

There is a lot of duplication between the two.

Thanks
