IPC-A-610, “Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies,” has just been released as a consolidated edition. This new update provides you with an interfiled copy of the Revision F and its Amendment 1. And it’s available in a variety of formats: paper copy, non-printing single user pdf or CD Rom, and the site and global licensing CD’s. If you’ve been frustrated by the lack of options for getting your copy of the Revision F Amendment 1, this is for you!
Do I need to buy one of these consolidated copies if I already have the Revision F and the Amendment 1? If you are only interested in the technical content and you’ve managed to integrate the non-printing pdf copy of the Amendment 1 into your system, there’s no technical reason to purchase the consolidated edition. It has been released for your convenience only.
Can I get any kind of credit towards the new consolidated edition if I already purchased the Revision F and Amendment 1 separately? No, this is considered to be a completely new issue. No returns of previous material are being accepted.
Why should I get this new IPC-A-610 F with Amendment 1? Since the Amendment 1 was only released as a non-printing pdf copy, it’s caused a lot of difficulties for some users. For example, a company that has the Revision F as a paper copy may have a lot of difficulty making sure that employees are aware of the pdf for Amendment 1 in order to use its changes. So a consolidated edition in the format you’re used to using is a real plus.
I didn’t get my copy of Amendment 1 yet? What were the changes? I have a previous post on just this question. Check out the changes to IPC-A-610F Amendment 1 here.
Where can I get my copy of this new update? Use an authorized distributor like Document Center Inc. Here’s the direct link to the order page for IPC-A-610.
Is it still possible to get copies of the Amendment 1 only? Certainly. However do remember, it is still only available in that non-printing pdf format.
