IPC CFX FAQ
IPC provides on-demand, self-paced education to support successful IPC-CFX implementations. These courses are delivered through IPC EDGE, IPC’s training and certification portal.
As IPC-CFX usage continue to grow, IPC recognizes industry will need support services to ensure accurate and successful implementations. To support industry in these efforts, IPC has made available the IPC-CFX Self-Validation System. Use of the IPC-CFX Self-Validation System is a first step to getting equipment listed on the IPC-CFX Qualified Products List (QPL).
Successful utilization of IPC-CFX on the shop floor requires confidence and trust that equipment has been qualified to IPC-CFX by an independent third party. To provide the electronics industry with this assurance, any equipment vendor with a subscription to the IPC-CFX Self-Validation System can submit equipment models for listing on the IPC-CFX-2591 Qualified Products List (QPL).
