IPC-A-610C, which has been adopted by the United States Army for use by the Department of Defense, contains more than 600 full-color photographs and illustrations of industry-accepted workmanship criteria for electronics assemblies and is often preferred by MIL-STD-2000A users because of its visual examples. The topics covered in the standard include component orientation and soldering criteria for through-hole, SMT and discrete wiring assemblies, mechanical assembly, cleaning, marking, coating, and laminate requirements. The document synchronizes to the requirements expressed in other industry consensus documents and is used with the material and process standard J-STD-001.
