What is BS EN 62326-1 - Specification of printed boards about?

BS EN 62326-1 is the first part of a multi-series standard used for Printed boards that specifies the capability procedure and detailed specification of these boards. This helps in manufacturing good-quality printed boards that are used in electronic components.

BS EN 62326-1 defines capability approval (CA) procedures for printed boards. When IECQ recognition is required, the capability approval procedures of IEC 001002 should be used. In addition, a technology approval (TA) schedule may also be provided as an alternative for manufacturers employing a system of process control for establishing product conformity.

Both CA and TA procedures apply to printed boards irrespective of their methods of manufacture when they are ready for the mounting of components. The information and requirements may also be used for second-party approvals or for self-declaration by a manufacturer of products covered by these specifications.

Who is BS EN 62326-1 - Specification of printed boards for?

BS EN 62326-1 on the specification of printed boards is useful for:

Manufacturer of electronic components
Manufacturer of automotive parts
Manufacturer of printed boards
Electronic components

Why should you use BS EN 62326-1 - Specification of printed boards?

A printed circuit board, or PCB, is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components. These electronic components are useful for conductive pathways, tracks or signal traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate.

BS EN 62326-1 specifies the particular stipulation of these printed boards used in electronic components. This helps in determining the capability which helps in obtaining capability approval of these boards. With the help of BS EN 62326-1, you can standardize the manufacturing process of these printed boards.

BS EN 62326-1 can be your best guide in preparing the detailed specification. This detailed specification prepared by you is useful for your client as it discloses the materials used in the manufacturing process. By applying BS EN 62326-1, you can produce good quality printed boards that are used in electronic components.
