The IPC offers a number of benchmark surveys as a benefit of membership in IPC. An
annual Quality Benchmark Survey is conducted for both manufacturers of printed wiring
boards and for electronic manufacturing services companies; an annual Financial
Benchmark Survey is also conducted for the PWB industry. For all three surveys,
report distribution is limited to survey participants only.
In addition to these surveys, IPC offers 4 major reports that are available free to
survey participants and on a fee basis to all others. These surveys are as follows:
