Status
Scope
This manual is a road map for current and
developing cleaning issues, rather than to function as a
highly detailed document for all areas touched on. in areas
of cleaning where recent detailed IPC manuals already
exist, the relevant sections in IPC-CH-65A will contain
only sufficient information to make the reader reasonably
knowledgeable. This guideline manual will refer the reader
to appropriate existing IPC documents (where they exist)
for in-depth information on the particular subject. An
example of such a reference IPC manual is IPC-AC-62,
Aqueous Cleaning Handbook It is only where existing IPC
documents are not available that IPC-CH-65A will expand
information beyond the basics in order to cover what is
currently known about the subject. A benefit of this
approach is that the manual does not become unwieldy and
tends to foster a user-friendly environment.
