IPC revises these benchmarks once in three years to make the products suit the developing technology.

As a designer, it is crucial to know the industry standards and their revisions to ensure a high-quality board. Whether you’re working on a complex mil-grade PCB or a consumer electronic product, an accurate soldering procedure is required to ensure the viability and acceptability of the product. The updates made to these standards are termed the H revisions of soldering standards. IPC-J-STD-001 and IPC-A-610 define the acceptance criteria for electrical connectivity and materials used. One of the primary prerequisites for manufacturing a reliable circuit board is having a high-quality soldering process.
