To earn the QML, DFI successfully completed an intensive audit based on two of IPC's foremost standards: IPC J-STD-001, Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies; and IPC-A-610, Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies.

DFI met or exceeded the requirements for the electronics industry's most rigorous classification, Class 3, which is intended for high-performance electronics assemblies. As a result, the company is now listed as an IPC-trusted source capable of manufacturing in accordance with industry best practices.

"We are honored to be the first company in Taiwan who provides embedded computing solutions certified under the IPC QML Validation program," said Oskar Wu, DFI's senior manager, product planning division. "This certification not only recognizes our professional competence, but also represents our commitment on providing quality products and services to our customers."

"Different from other audit programs, IPC's Validation Services Programs uniquely provides technical and in-depth assessments of products and processes in accordance with IPC standards," said Randy Cherry, IPC director of Validation Services. "We are pleased to recognize DFI Inc. as the first company in Taiwan to become a member of IPC's network of trusted QML suppliers."
