Proper orientation, placement, and security of surface mount (SMT) and through-hole components.

A condition that indicates the assembly is likely to be reliable in its service environment, though it may not be perfect.

: It establishes conditions for solder joints, component mounting, and cleanliness.

IPC-A-610F serves as a key 2014 visual inspection standard for electronics assembly, defining acceptance criteria for PCB components across three classes. While the document covers areas from handling to soldering, the standard has since been updated, with Revision J (2024) being the current version. More information on PCB standards is available at
