The Institute for Interconnecting -110A and Packaging Electronic Circuits Guidelines for Selecting Core Constructions for Multilayer Printed Wiring Board Applications -110A A standard developed by the Institute for Interconnecting December 1997 and Packaging Electronic Circuits 2215 Sanders Road Tel 847 Northbrook, Illinois Fax 847 60062-6135 URL: Standardization In May 1995 the IPC’s Technical Activities mittee adopted Prin- ciples of Standardization as a guiding principle of IPC’s standardization efforts. Standards Should: • Show relationship to DFM & DFE • Minimize time to market • Contain simple (simplified) language • Just include spec information • Focus on end product performance • Include a feed back system on use and problems for future improvement Standards Should Not: • Inhibit innovation • Increase time-to-market • Keep people out • Increase cycle time • Tell you how to make something • Contain anything that cannot be defended with data Notice IPC Standards and Publications are designed to serve the public interest through eliminating misunderstandings between manufacturers and purchasers, facilitat- ing interchangeability and improvement of products, and assisting the pur- chaser in selecting and obtaining with minimum delay the proper product for his particular need. Existence of such Standards and Publications shall not in any respect preclude any member or nonmember of IPC from manufacturing or selling products not conforming to such Standards and Publication, nor shall the existence of such Standards and Publications preclude their voluntary use by those other than IPC members, whether the standard is to be used either domestically or internationally. mended Standards and Publications are adopted by IPC without regard to whether their adoption may involve patents on articles, materials, or processes.
