What Are IPC Standards?
IPC enables reliable, high-quality electronics by developing trusted standards that drive the global electronics industry’s success. Implemented industry-wide, their standards communicate and clarify expectations for everyone within the industry.
IPC has over 300+ active multilingual industry standards, covering nearly every stage of the electronics product development cycle. More than 3,000 electronic industry professionals participate in the development of these standards.
IPC standards are critical for the entire electronics supply chain. They address a wide array of areas, including design, printed circuit board fabrication, assembly, packaging, and inspection. By following IPC standards, companies can improve product quality, ensure regulatory compliance, and meet customer expectations effectively.
One of the primary goals of IPC standards is to facilitate international trade by harmonizing technical requirements and eliminating barriers to market access. By adhering to IPC standards, manufacturers can demonstrate compliance with globally recognized specifications, enhancing product quality, reliability, and market acceptance.
