IPC/WHMA-A-620, Requirements and Acceptance for Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies, is modeled after IPC-A-610; IPC's most widely used standard with an international reputation as THE source for end product acceptance criteria for consumer and high reliability printed circuit board assemblies.

IPC/WHMA-A-620 is the first industry consensus standard for cable and wire harness fabrication and installation. Classes of products are defined and include criteria for Target, Acceptable, Process Indicator and Defect conditions to support the collection of visual quality acceptability requirements for each class. This criteria is supported by 500 full-color illustrations.

Developed during a three year process by members from 86 user and supplier companies, it represents a consensus among industry leaders. The IPC Wire Harness Acceptability Task Group of the Product Assurance Committee and the Wire Harness Manufacturers' Association Industry Technical Guidelines Committee prepared this standard.

IPC/WHMA-A-620 describes acceptability criteria for crimped, mechanically secured and soldered interconnection and the corresponding lacing/restraining criteria associated with cable and harness assemblies.

It can be used as a standalone document for purchasing product or to support your ISO certification documentation requirements.

How the IPC/WHMA-A-620 Certification Program Works

The IPC/WHMA-A-620 training and certification program has two tiers of instruction. Registered instructor candidates are sent by their parent companies to receive intensive training and are then certified to provide worker proficiency training.
