John Deere Electronic Solutions achieved the QML certification nine years ago and this year successfully demonstrated the Class 3 level work required for recertification 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.
“Their dedication to high reliability and meeting the requirements of Class 3 level work was demonstrated during the audit process,” stated Randy Cherry, IPC director of Validation Services.
IPC's Validations Services QPL/QML Program was developed to promote supply chain verification. It also provides auditing and certification of electronics companies' products and identifies processes which conform to IPC standards.
"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 John Deere Electronics Solutions for continuing to be a member of IPC's network of trusted QML suppliers."
