Joel, Telcordia recently released their new (Sept. 2007) GR-78 spec which they attempted to adopt more of IPC 610. There is an IPC committee that is about to go to vote on a Telecom addendum to IPC 610 also. I should not say this but I never see Telcordia fully aligning with IPC. If they did you would not need to buy there specifications. I hope this helps Russell Nowland Alcatel-Lucent Advanced Manufacturing Engineer Address: 14000 Quail Spring Parkway, Suite 300 Oklahoma City, OK 73134 email: [log in to unmask] Desk: 405-302-1660 Cell: 405-203-0034 Fax: 405-302-1622 -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Joel Alexander Sent: Friday, September 12, 2008 8:40 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Telecordia vs IPC Does any one know if Telecordia will accept IPC-A-610 and an equivalent workmanship standard at the present time or if they may be trying to align the two specifications in the near future Best Regards, Joel Alexander Quality Assurance Manager ASQ-CQA [log in to unmask] > TT electronics integrated manufacturing services, inc. 3700 Lane Road Perry, Ohio 44081 USA ) Office : (440) 352 - 8961 ) DDI : (440) 358 - 5207 ) Fax : (440) 358 - 5201 ü www.ttelectronics-ims.com "Skills and Technologies, exceeding your expectations."
