IPC Validation Services has introduced a new qualified manufacturers listing (QML) program, the IPC-1791, trusted electronic designer, fabricator and assembler requirements QML, to address gaps in current electronics industry trusted supplier accreditation programs. This program provides the electronics industry with a competitive network of “trusted suppliers” to ensure a high level of integrity in the entire PCB assembly supply chain.
Requirements for certification and QML listing includes; a product and quality system, a supply chain risk management system (SCRM), a security system including compliance to NIST SP 800-171, Export Control Laws (ITAR and EAR), and a chain of custody system (ChoC). Additionally, suppliers can select to hold any combination of the certification types available; designer, fabricator or assembler.
