Acknowledgment
Any Standard involving a complex
technology draws material from a
vast number of sources. While the
principal members of the SMT
Design Reliability Task Group of the
Product Reliability Committee are
shown below, it is not possible to
include all of those who assisted in the
evolution of this standard. To each of
them, the members of the IPC extend
their gratitude.
