IPC Webinar: Optimizing Cleaning Products Used in Electronics Manufacturing
December 2, 2024 | IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The electronics industry is committed to improving manufacturing practices and one way to do this is using safer and more sustainable cleaning products across the electronics manufacturing life cycle. IPC-1402, “Standard for Green Cleaners Used in Electronics Manufacturing” is for engineers, chemists, environment/health/safety professionals, purchasers, and those involved in formulating and selecting cleaning products for electronics manufacturing.
This standard is useful to original equipment manufacturers, electronics manufacturing services companies, printed circuit board manufacturers, cable and wire harness manufacturers, as well as the cleaning product manufacturers. Formulating safer and more sustainable cleaning products and using these products is an important way for the industry to reduce potential impacts to worker health and the environment.
IPC, in collaboration with ChemFORWARD, welcome a variety of electronics manufacturing companies including electronics cleaning product formulators to attend this webinar to:
Understand the utility of IPC-1402 in defining cleaning products and processes, determining impacts to humans and the environment, managing health and safety and physical hazard requirements, and how to verify and assess relevant criteria.
Learn how to use the new CleanScreen application and reporting tool, which incorporates IPC-1402 criteria, to rapidly screen cleaning formulations and create your product safety profile for B2B communications.
Increase your awareness of other tools, standards, and certification programs available to develop and market safer and more sustainable cleaners for electronics manufacturing applications.
Event Type: Webinar
Dec 10, 2024 | 11:00am - 12:00pm CST

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
01/30/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007It’s the last week of January, and it’s been pretty cold outside. That’s the best time to hunker down and catch up on your reading. Here are my top five must-reads for this week. All eyes continue to be on advanced electronics processes and packaging technology, which are highlighted in Pete Starkey’s review of the ICT winter conference in the UK, as well as Nolan Johnson’s article on inflection points, and Kris Moyer’s look forward into what will be important for PCB designers in 2026 and beyond. Candor Industries’ Sunny Patel discusses “Normalizing the Impossible” in his look forward, and Mike Jouppi contributes with his critical look at what IPC-2152 does not cover.
A Look Back at 2025 as an Inflection Point
01/28/2026 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineFor many organizations, 2025 marked the moment when AI experimentation, regional supply-chain diversification, advanced packaging, and highly compressed NPI timelines evolved into a new operational reality. The industry is converging on a more integrated, data-driven, and collaborative form of product realization. EMS providers, PCB fabricators, their respective regional supply chains, and design-tool vendors all have distinct responsibilities within this transformation, and their futures are now more tightly connected than ever.
