This part of IEC 62326 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 manu-facturer of products covered by these specifications.
