Visual inspection
in accordance with IPC-A610 and IPC-A600

We visually analyze electronic components, assemblies and printed circuit boards - after product testing or in the event of damage. Our visual inspections are carried out in accordance with IPC-A610 and IPC-A600 and are supplemented by our accredited in-house procedure and individual customer solutions.

Quality assurance
through visual inspection of electronic products

What we deliver:

Non-destructive visual inspection in accordance with IPC-A610
(Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies).
Clear classification: Class 1 (general electronics), Class 2 (higher requirements, industry), Class 3 (high-performance). Comprehensive testing of all components: PCBs, solder connections (through-hole and SMT), passive and active components, mechanical components, cables/wire connections, connectors, optoelectronic components.

Customer benefits:
IPC-A610 inspection enables manufacturers to achieve consistent, high-quality assemblies; the customer determines the class to be applied. We combine modern technologies with a trained eye to ensure the highest quality standards.

Your request

Class overview:

  • Class 1:
    General electronic products (consumer goods). Focus on functionality;
    lower requirements.
  • Class 2:
    Electronics with higher requirements
    (industry, uninterrupted continuous operation; longer service life).
  • Class 3:
    High-performance electronics (e.g. automotive, aerospace, medical, military);
    highest requirements and strict tolerances.

 

Applicable components according to IPC-A610:

  • Printed circuit boards (PCBs):
    The quality of the printed circuit board, including the solder resist, conductor tracks and vias, is of central importance.
  • Solder joints:
    Criteria for the acceptance of solder joints, including both through-hole and surface mount (SMT).
  • Passive components:
    Typical components are resistors, capacitors and inductors,
    where the correct positioning, solder joint quality and mechanical damage are checked.
  • Active components:
    Active components include ICs (integrated circuits), transistors and diodes,
    which are also checked for correct placement and soldering quality.
  • Mechanical components:
    Screws, brackets and housings, which are important for the mechanical integrity of the assembly.
  • Cables and wire connections:
    Guidelines for the quality and reliability of cable and wire connections and their fastenings.
  • Connectors:
    These components must be fitted correctly and securely to ensure a reliable electrical connection.
  • Optoelectronic components:
    LEDs, LCDs and other light-emitting or light-receiving components,
    where the assembly and soldering quality is crucial.

 

Your advantage:

  • Consistent quality and reliability of your assemblies
  • Flexible adaptation to your requirements and standards
  • State-of-the-art technologies and trained specialists
