for Rigid Printed Boards
April 2016
IPC
0.1 Scope This addendum provides requirements to be used in addition to, and in some cases, in place of, those published in
IPC-6012E to ensure the reliability of printed boards that must survive the environments of electronic interconnects within the
automotive industry.
0.1.1 Purpose When required by procurement documentation/drawings, this addendum replaces specifically identified requirements
of IPC-6012E.
0.1.2 Precedence The procurement documentation takes precedence over this addendum and referenced standards. In the event of
a conflict between this addendum and the applicable documents cited herein, this addendum takes precedence. Where referenced
criteria of this addendum differ from the published IPC-6012E, this addendum takes precedence.
0.1.3 Existing or Previously Approved Designs This addendum shall not constitute the sole cause for the redesign of previously
approved designs. When drawings for existing or previously approved designs undergo revision, they should be reviewed and
changes made that allow for compliance with the requirements of this addendum.
0.1.4 Use of this Addendum This addendum shall not be used as a stand-alone document but shall be recognized as automotive
electronic specific requirements that are in addition to or in place of IPC-6012E Class 3 requirements.
Where criteria are not supplemented, the Class 3 requirements of IPC-6012E shall apply. Where IPC-6012E criteria are supplemented
or new criteria are added by this addendum, the clause is listed in IPC-6012EA, Table 1, Automotive Applications Requirements,
and the entire IPC-6012E clause and its associated Table 4-3 entry is replaced by this addendum except as specifically noted.
The clauses modified by this addendum do not include subordinate clauses unless specifically stated (i.e., changes made to 3.5 do
not affect 3.5.1 unless 3.5.1 is also addressed in this addendum).
