First IPC/WHMA-A-620 Certification Training Program to Be Established
October 30, 2002 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Northbrook, Ill. and Madison, Ala. -- IPC -- Association Connecting Electronics Industries(r) announces that Soldering Technology International Inc. (STI) has been contracted to develop a training and certification program for IPC/WHMA-A-620, Requirements and Acceptance for Cable and Harness Assemblies.
The IPC/WHMA-A-620 Technical Training Committee recommended that the electronic resource and services company create the program curriculum after a thorough review of responses to an IPC RFQ.
The IPC/WHMA-A-620 Certification Training Program will be a two-tier, "train-the-trainer" approach that provides traceability from certified instructors to operator level training programs. It will support common understanding and implementation of the technical requirements contained in IPC/WHMA-A-620 and will also allow traceable certification for demonstrated capability through application of the standard acceptance criteria for quality programs.
The IPC Wire Harness Acceptability Task Group of the Product Assurance Committee and the Wiring Harness Manufacturers Association(r) (WHMA) Industry Technical Guidelines Committee developed the IPC/WHMA-A-620 and released it in January 2002. It is modeled after the IPC-A-600 and IPC-A-610, two of the industry's leading standards for printed wiring boards and circuit assemblies, and is the first industry consensus standard for cable and wire harness fabrication and installation.
Since 1982, Soldering Technology International Inc. has been the premier full service organization for training, consulting, laboratory analysis prototyping, and small- to medium-volume PCB assembly in the electronics industry.
