JSTD-001 Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies

What is it?IPC used to stand for the Institute of Printed Circuits, then it became the symbol for The Institute for Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuits. It is not an acronym for anything; IPC is simply the name of the company. It is designed for those who already have some industry and soldering experience.


What is it?IPC-J-STD-001 – Hand Soldering Criteria (Hands-On)is the industry specification for PCB assembly of commercial electronics. This specification describes procedures for producing quality soldered connections and reliable electronic assemblies.


What is it?The IPC-J-STD-001 document is designed to be a reference source for building and soldering assemblies that include Wires & Terminals Technology, Through-Hole Technology and/or Surface Mount Technology.


What is it NOT?This is not a basic soldering course….you should already have some basic soldering and PCB assembly experience.


The CIS (Operator Level) ProgramA Specialist certification may also be referenced as an Operator certification. Specialists are certified to the criteria but cannot train or certify others.


The CIS (Operator Level) ProgramCertifying students to IPC-J-STD-001 means that they are officially recognized by the IPC as having achieved a level of understanding of the contents of the specification and a level of proficiency in its use and application.


The CIS (Operator Level) ProgramCertifying operators to IPC-J-STD-001 means that they are officially recognized by the IPC as having a working knowledge of the quality requirements set forth in the specification, and being qualified to use the IPC-J-STD-001 standard to ensure quality in their own work.Training is good for (2) yrs and the credential belongs to the employee.


The CIT (Operator Level) ProgramCertifying instructors to IPC-J-STD-001 means that they are officially recognized by the IPC as being qualified to deliver IPC-J-STD-001 CIS (Operator) Training.
