IPC is a global trade association dedicated to furthering the competitive excellence and nancial
success of its members, who are participants in the electronics industry.
In pursuit of these objectives, IPC will devote resources to management improvement and
technology enhancement programs, the creation of relevant standards, protection of the
environment, and pertinent government relations.
IPC encourages the active participation of all its members in these activities and commits to full
cooperation with all related organizations.
IPC standards and publications are designed to serve the public interest through eliminating
misunderstandings between manufacturers and purchasers, facilitating interchangeability and
improvement of products, and assisting the purchaser in selecting and obtaining with minimum
delay the proper product for their particular need. Existence of such IPC standards and publications
shall not in any respect preclude any entity from manufacturing or selling products not conforming
to such IPC standards and publication, nor shall the existence of such IPC standards and
publications preclude their voluntary use.
IPC standards and publications are approved by IPC committees without regard to whether the
IPC standards or publications may involve patents on articles, materials or processes. By such
action, IPC does not assume any liability to any patent owner, nor does IPC assume any obligation
whatsoever to parties adopting an IPC standard or publication. Users are wholly responsible for
protecting themselves against all claims of liabilities for patent infringement.
The use and implementation of IPC standards and publications are voluntary and part of a
relationship entered into by customer and supplier. When an IPC standard or publication is revised
or amended, the use of the latest revision or amendment as part of an existing relationship is
not automatic unless required by the contract. IPC recommends the use of the latest revision or
amendment.
IPC welcomes comments for improvements to any standard in its library. All comments will be
provided to the appropriate committee.
If a change to technical content is requested, data to support the request is recommended. Technical
comments to include new technologies or make changes to published requirements should be
accompanied by technical data to support the request. This information will be used by the
committee to resolve the comment.
