Subject: [TN] IPC-A-610 has been DoD Adopted !



IPC-A-610 Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies now has the same DoD
adoption status as another industry standard IPC/EIA J-STD-001C Requirements
for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies, and the companion
IPC-HDBK-001 w/Amendment 1 Handbook and Guide to Supplement J-STD-001
(Includes J-STD-001B to C Comparison).

I downloaded the adoption notice from the DODSSP QuickSearch Assist website
http://astimage.daps.dla.mil/quicksearch/
<http://astimage.daps.dla.mil/quicksearch/> . This is an "open" site and
anyone can download the notice. Give me a couple of days to work through the
process and I'll also get the adoption notice downloadable from the
IPC-A-610C description page in the online bookstore www.ipc.org/bookstore
<http://www.ipc.org/bookstore> .

Cordially
Jack
