Absolutely. Thanks, Greg! -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Greg Munie Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2013 12:26 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] IPC-1710A There were some messages flying around mentioning 1710A with the thread starting with Class 3 assembly inspection. I talked with staff here and can report the following. IPC-1710 is still an active standard and it is shown on the IPC Tree. It is in green under the Printed Board / Acceptance. 1710 will be part of the IPC-6012 Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) program now underway. The document is not perfect but it still provides critical board shop capabilities you need to know before you begin the audit/selection process. So if you are worried about your manufacturer's capabilities start with 1710A and 6012. Hope this helps.
