IPC standards and origin

IPC -Institute Of Printed Circuits, International Electronics Industry Association is a global non-profit electronics industry association. IPC was launched in 1957 with 6 PCB manufacturers.IPC is headquartered in Illinois, Bannockburn, Chinese is headquartered in Qingdao, New Mexico, Taos, Virginia, Arlington, Stockholm, Sweden, India, Bangalore, Moscow and Thailand, Bangkok and other places have offices.

Why use IPC standards

1. master the quality and reliability of the final product:
Quality and reliability is the cornerstone of maintaining market competitiveness, but also the company's reputation and profitability is also crucial. Throughout the production process, through the implementation of IPC standards, your company's products have better performance and longer service life.
2. improve communication with suppliers and employees:
The IPC standard is the standard used by your competitors, suppliers and EMS manufacturers. At work, an existing IPC standard can become a "common language" - the language of the global electronics industry. In addition, the use of IPC standard can eliminate the confusion of employees, because they know their work needs to meet the standard requirements
3.help control costs:
If your design is in line with the IPC standard, and your production process and quality control are in accordance with IPC standards, then your production will be able to minimize delays, rework and scrap.
