The new revisions are now available.
IPC-A-610E – Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies
IPC-A-610 is the most widely used electronics assembly standard in the world. A must for all quality assurance and assembly departments, IPC-A-610E illustrates industry-accepted workmanship criteria for electronic assemblies through full-color photographs and illustrations. Topics include flex attachment, board in board, part on part, lead free, component orientation and soldering criteria for through-hole, SMT (new termination styles) and discrete wiring assemblies, mechanical assembly, cleaning, marking, coating, and laminate requirements.
Revision E has 809 photos and illustrations of acceptability criteria — 165 of them new or updated. This revision has been critically reviewed for clarity and accuracy. The document synchronizes to the requirements expressed in other industry consensus documents and is used with the material and process standard IPC J-STD-001. 400 pages. Released April 2010. Included in the IPC-C-103 and the IPC-C-1000 Collections. DoD adopted.

J-STD-001E – Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies
J-STD-001E is recognized worldwide as the sole industry-consensus standard covering soldering materials and processes. This revision includes support for lead-free manufacturing, in addition to easier to understand criteria for materials, methods and verification for producing quality soldered interconnections and assemblies. The requirements for all three classes of construction are included. Full color illustrations are provided for clarity. This standard fully complements IPC-A-610E. 54 pages. Released April 2010. Included in the IPC-C-103 and the IPC-C-1000 Collections. DoD adopted.

IPC-6012C – Qualification and Performance Specification for Rigid Printed Boards
This specification covers qualification and performance of rigid printed boards, including single-sided, double-sided, with or without plated-through holes, multilayer with or without blind/buried vias and metal core boards. It addresses final finish and surface plating coating requirements, conductors, holes/vias, frequency of acceptance testing and quality conformance as well as electrical, mechanical and environmental requirements. Revision C incorporates many new requirements in areas such as selection for procurement, new surface finishes, hole plating thickness, measling, weave exposure, copper cap plating of filled holes, laminate cracks and voids, etchback, blind and buried via fill, acceptance testing and frequency, and requirements for thermal stress testing. This revision synchronizes to the IPC-A-600H. For use with IPC-6011. Supersedes IPC-6012B with Amendment 1. 52 pages. Released April 2010. Included in the IPC-C-105, 6010-Series and the IPC-C-1000 Collections.

IPC-A-600H – Acceptability of Printed Boards
The definitive illustrated guide to printed circuit board acceptability! This four-color document provides photographs and illustrations of the target, acceptable and nonconforming conditions that are either internally or externally observable on bare printed boards. Make sure your operators, inspectors, and engineers have the most current industry consensus information. With more than 90 new or revised photographs and illustrations, revision H provides new coverage on topics such as copper wrap plating, copper cap plating of filled holes, and hole wall/barrel separation along with updated and expanded coverage for measling of printed boards, delamination and haloing, laminate voids/cracks, etchback, blind and buried via fill, and flexible circuits. The document sychronizes to the acceptability requirements expressed in IPC-6012C and IPC-6013B. Released April 2010. Included in the IPC-C-102, IPC-C-105 and the IPC-C-1000 Collections.
