The latest revision of the IPC-WHMA-A-620 standard for the acceptance of cable and wire harness assemblies was published in February.
Jointly developed by the Wiring Harness Manufacturers Association (WHMA) and the IPC—Association Connecting Electronics Industries, the standard debuted in 2002 and quickly became the most important process, materials and inspection document in the industry. Worldwide, more than 11,000 people are certified as either trainers of the standard or users of the standard (assemblers, testers and repair technicians).
