Steve,
From the IPC perspective, 9252A supersedes 652.  However, ultimately the answer to your question depends upon the transition policy of your individual contracts.
In the absence of transition policy (likely), I would suggest that the prescribed form provided by 9252 gives you better legal standing for a CofC.
You will also find verbiage from IPC/TAEC as to the transition intent.

Yes you should stop stating that you have met 652, because to do so places a cancelled/superseded document, as well as, all of the related policy/procedure in your document control system; that's never fun.

If a Bare PCB manufacturer provides a Certificate of Compliance stating that the PCB was electrically tested per IPC-ET-652 does meeting this standard by default mean that they have also met the requirements of IPC-356? On a related subject, should the vendor stop stating they have met ET-652 and state that they have met 9252A?

 

Thanks, Steve
