IPC 1782, “Standard for Manufacturing and Supply Chain Traceability of Electronic Products,” has just been released. This new standard will help you track where your electronic components come from. It is available from Document Center Inc. now.
Concerns over counterfeit and non-compliance parts has grown in recent years. Because of this, there is a need to be able to trace where electronic parts used in your products come from. This allows you to prove that components meet the contractual and safety requirements necessary to reduce risks associated with unproven parts.
IPC has developed the IPC 1782 to help you reduce the unnecessary overhead involved in this task by creating a uniform component traceability standard. The publication establishes minimum requirements for manufacturing and supply chain traceability. The level of risk tolerated is embedded in the agreement between the user and the supplier.
Who should be using the IPC 1782? It is directed to suppliers, manufacturers and users of printed board assemblies and mechanical assemblies.
What’s covered in the IPC 1782? The standard can be used for all products, processes, assemblies, parts, components, equipment and other items as any user, manufacturer or user defines.
