Arlon EMC Receives IPC-4101 QPL Recertification
March 20, 2024 | Arlon Electronic MaterialsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Arlon Electronic Materials has successfully completed an intensive two-day recertification audit by IPC Validation Services that examined Arlon’s manufacturing processes and testing procedures to assure that they are in conformance to the requirements of IPC-4101E-WAM1, the Specification for Base Materials for Rigid and Multilayer Printed Boards. Successful completion of this audit confirms Arlon as a trusted supplier of high-performance laminate and prepreg products to the Aerospace, Military, and Industrial market segments of the electronic supply chain.
“This recertification of our factory’s procedures and test methods provides an added layer of assurance to our customers that Arlon’s products consistently meet or exceed industry standards”, according to Mark Reese, Arlon’s Quality Manager. He went on to add, “We feel that the Validation Services program is an important component of the aerospace and military supply chain in providing an independent verification of our organization’s materials and systems.”
Arlon became the first North American laminator to participate in the IPC Validation Services program in 2018 and remains the only US laminate supplier to have its polyimide products and its facility validated by IPC.
