BANNOCKBURN, IL – IPC has published a standard said to be the first for power conversion.
IPC-9592, Requirements for Power Conversion Devices for the Computer and Telecommunications Industries, covers product attributes, including specifications and document requirements; design; qualification testing; and manufacturing conformance testing.
"With the release of IPC-9592, the power supply industry will have a standard that will facilitate communication between the customer and supplier at a level that is unprecedented in this industry," said Dr. Scott Strand, senior technical staff member, integrated technology delivery quality, IBM, in a press release.
“IPC-9592 harmonizes the requirements for design, qualification, and production test practices,” said Jerry Strunk, technical manager of qualification and compliance, Lineage Power. “Suppliers that adopt this standard will be better able to provide customers reliable products.”
The committee is now working on the first revision of the document.
IPC members may request a free copy of IPC-9592 within 90 days of its publication.
