Xitek: IPC-A-610 Rev E Accredited

Xitek personnel are accredited to the internationally recognised IPC standard in electronics manufacturing.

Some of the production staff were awarded certification in Hand Soldering Skills in line with the IPC-A-610 Rev E standards recently.  Paul Pidgeon from STEM Training UK put the team through their paces in wire preparation, through hole component and surface mount component attachment.

In addition, Production Manager, Darren Williams, successfully attained the designation of Certified IPC Specialist.

Andrew Perkins, Xitek Sales Director, commented, "We recognise the need for our customers to be confident in the high standard of work we achieve here at Xitek.  The IPC standard ensures the quality and reliability of our work and we are delighted that a 100% pass rate was achieved."

"The team enjoyed refining their existing skills on the course under the expert tuition provided by Paul, a Certified IPC Trainer."
