IPC-A-610 Class 2
We use these criteria to inspect every board assembly, from prototypes to small production runs.
Every board assembled at EVIACORE is inspected against IPC-A-610 Class 2 criteria. We inspect accessible assemblies under a microscope. X-ray inspection of hidden connections is arranged with our partner.
Inspection is part of manufacturing.
Internal inspection procedures
Our internal procedures govern the inspection of electronic boards. Our work instructions use the customer's assembly drawing to check component polarity on the assembled board.
During manufacturing
The first board and critical operations are checked before the rest of the batch proceeds.
Functional tests
We perform the functional tests specified for your project using the procedure and equipment you supply or approve.
Visual, microscope and X-ray inspection.
Every assembled board is inspected against IPC-A-610 Class 2 criteria. Mr MEROUR is IPC-A-610 CIS certified. The microscope allows us to examine accessible solder joints, fine features and manual work.
We arrange X-ray inspection of hidden connections with our partner. The inspection criteria are defined according to the geometry of the assemblies being examined.
Checking your board's functions.
A functional test powers or stimulates the board to check responses defined by the customer: voltage, current consumption, communication, inputs or outputs. The customer remains responsible for defining complete criteria.
We use the test procedure and equipment supplied or approved by the customer. We check test results against the agreed criteria, procedure and equipment. The test covers only its defined scenario.
Additional inspections.
Camera inspection before placement
The placement machine checks each component with its cameras before placing it on the PCB. It detects issues such as missing or bent leads and rejects the affected components.
Microscope inspection after soldering
We check solder joints against IPC-A-610 and inspect component placement. Polarity is checked against the customer's assembly drawing under our internal work instructions.
X-ray inspection
We arrange X-ray inspection of hidden connections with our partner to examine solder joints that cannot be seen under a microscope.
