Fresh PCB Concepts: The Importance of Bare Board Testing for Reliability
01/15/2026 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsManufacturing a clean PCB that functions during initial testing is not the same as manufacturing a truly high-quality board. The distinction between a PCB that is “good enough” and one that is built for long-term reliability often comes down to what the board has been subjected to long before it reaches the assembly line. While IPC standards outline a baseline for required testing, many meaningful evaluations a PCB can undergo are optional, and therefore inconsistent across suppliers.
