Introduction to IPC Standards

For more than 60 years, the global electronics industry has turned to IPC industry standards to manufacture consistently highly reliable, high-quality products. 300+ active multilingual industry standards are accepted worldwide for nearly every stage of the electronic product development cycle, from design and purchasing through assembly and acceptance. Along with improved quality, IPC standards help control costs and streamline communication between suppliers, manufacturers, assemblers, and their customers.
