BANNOCKBURN, IL – Several blue chip OEMs, including Dell, IBM, Intel , Lucent  and Cisco, have launched a technical committee to standardize processes for making power supplies, air movement equipment (fans), cables, connectors, heatsinks and components.

The OEM Critical Components Committee has identified several key components that impact their business.es but lack globally accepted quality and manufacturing process standards. The committee was formed under the auspices of IPC, the trade group.

The committee will work first on air movement devices. A draft has been proposed and is expected to be released early next year.
