I need to benchmark or sanity check our incoming inspection process in relation to IPC Class 3 electronics. I am looking for a contact with someone who assembles/builds IPC Class PCBAs, that i can sanity check some stuff with.
To start, our process basically says that we do 100% visual inspection of the boards.... and that's about it. There is a form that has some checkboxes about some packaging notes but there are pretty vague.
I am was reading through IPC-6012 (Rev D, I know its the current one and I am trying to get that purchased) in section 4 under QA Provisions, and to my knowledge we have functionally ignored that whole section. It makes me nervous to say the least. Does anyone here utilize any of that guidance in section 4 of IPC-6012?
Btw, we are an OEM doing various contracts (commercial or military). High mix, very low volume, and fast contract turns.
