IPC 610 General Terms – Complete Study Guide
Class 1 — General Electronic Products Correct Ans - Includes products
suitable for applications where the major requirement is function of the
completed assembly.
Class 2 — Dedicated Service Electronic Products Correct Ans - Includes
products where continued performance and extended life is required, and for
which uninterrupted service is desired but not critical. Typically the end-use
environment would not cause failures.
Class 3 — High Performance Electronic Products Correct Ans - Includes
products where continued high performance or performance-on-demand is
critical, equipment downtime cannot be tolerated, end-use environment may
be uncommonly harsh, and the equipment must function when required, such
as life support or other critical systems.
Target Condition Correct Ans - A condition that is close to
perfect/preferred, however, it is a desirable condition and not always
achievable and may not be necessary to ensure reliability of the assembly in
its service environment.
Acceptable Condition Correct Ans - This characteristic indicates a
condition that, while not necessarily perfect, will maintain the integrity and
reliability of the assembly in its service environment.
Defect Condition Correct Ans - A defect is a condition that may be
insufficient to ensure the form, fit or function of the assembly in its end use
environment.
Process Indicator Condition Correct Ans - A process indicator is a
condition (not a defect) which identifies a characteristic that does not affect
the form, fit or function of a product.
Conditions Not Specified Correct Ans - Conditions that are not specified as
defective or as a process indicator maybe considered acceptable unless it can
be established that the condition affects user defined form, fit, function.
