Many printed circuit board users have developed internal processes to evaluate the capabilities of their printed circuit board manufacturing companies. Manufacturers often receive multiple requests from multiple customers to manufacture test panels as part of qualification procedures. The IPC-PCQR2 program provides an industry standard for the design of these benchmark process capability test panels. The data resulting from this process provides database subscribers with the ability to review detailed results from individual manufacturers and to compare the capabilities of multiple fabricators across the industry. This document describes this process for evaluating the manufacturing capability of key attributes specified in the design and performance standards controlled by IPC. See more
