ACD Material Coordinators and Operators Are IPC-A-600 Certified
ACD (Automated Circuit Design), a leading supplier to the electronics industry, announces that all of the company’s material coordinators and machine operators are IPC-A-600 certified. The certification demonstrates ACD’s commitment to continuous quality improvement.
“WThe IPC-A-600 certification provides ACD’s material coordinators and machine operators with the information required to provide high-quality incoming inspection. Knowing acceptable conditions means that PCBs are not needlessly scrapped; knowing nonconforming conditions saves the assembler from an expensive component mounting operation.
For many years, the IPC-A-600 Acceptability of Printed Boards document has set the standard for PCB/PWB workmanship quality. The IPC-A-600 gives comprehensive acceptance criteria with full-color illustrations and photographs showing all types of printed board surface and internal conditions. Because of its importance to both the PWB manufacturer and assembler, the IPC-A-600 has become one of the most widely recognized and used documents ever published by IPC.
IPC developed the IPC-A-600 Training and Certification Program to promote a consistent body of knowledge regarding printed board end product requirements to all segments of the electronic interconnection industry.
