IPC Class I -General Electronic Products: Class one includes consumer products and some computer and computer peripherals suitable for applications where cosmetic imperfections are not important and the major requirement is function of the completed printed board.

The user has the responsibility to specify in the contract or purchase order, the performance class required for each product and shall indicate any exceptions to specific parameters, where appropriate. It should be recognized that there may be an overlap of equipment categories in different classes.

There are three general classes have been established to reflect progressive increases in sophistication, functional performance requirements and testing/inspection frequency.

It publishes the most widely used acceptability standards in the electronics industry. In 1999, the organization formally changed its name to IPC with the accompanying tagline, Association Connecting Electronics Industries. Its name was later changed to the Institute for Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuits to highlight the expansion from bare boards to packaging and electronic assemblies. It was founded in 1957 as the Institute of Printed Circuits. IPC is a trade association whose aim is to standardize the assembly and production requirements of electronic equipment and assemblies.

Performing everything according to IPC standards and our capabilities can help. As a design, manufacturing and assembly manufacturer of printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is very important to ensure quality throughout development, prototyping and production is critical and requires careful attention at all phases.
