8、 technology. The BS 123000:2001 series of British Standards is based on draft proposals to revise the EN 123000 series dated 1992 and 1997. These were circulated and voted on in CENELEC, but the CENELEC Technical Board decided not to approve them for publication. Following repeated attempts by the B
9、ritish National Committee to get them published, the Technical Board agreed to grant derogation from standstill to the British National Committee to publish national standards on the basis of the prEN 123000 series (Technical Board decision D106/092). These standards are published to complement the
10、BS EN 123000 series, which remains current. They will be withdrawn only if they are replaced by revised EN standards. They have been published because they are considered to be an improvement upon the EN series, for the following reasons. a) Requirements for modern materials and surface finishes req
11、uired by the electronics industry have been incorporated. b) Reference is made to ANSI/IPC A-600F for many of the inspection criteria. This has been undertaken in response to industry requests. c) References to obsolete CECC regulatory documents have been replaced. d) Tests and requirements that are
12、 no longer considered relevant have been removed. e) The UK electronics industry requires standards that are subject to ongoing revision, in order to take account of new European Eco-Directives. This British Standard is a sectional specification. It should be read in conjunction with the generic spe
13、cification, BS 123000, and any associated capability detail specification. It has been assumed in the preparation of this British Standard that the execution of its provisions will be entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people, for whose use it has been produced. A British Standard
14、does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an i

16、for capability approval testing and for quality conformity inspection (lot-by-lot and periodic inspection). It is applicable for all flexible single-sided and double-sided printed boards without through-connections, irrespective of their method of manufacture, when they are ready for the mounting of
17、 components. This British Standard is a sectional specification intended for use with the IECQ system of quality assessment for electronic components. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Brit
18、ish Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply.

21、urposes of this British Standard the terms and definitions given in BS 4727-1:Group 11 and BS 123000 together with the following apply. 3.1 relevant specification product specification for an actual batch of printed boards, i.e. a customer detail specification as well as a capability detail specific
22、ation applied to a specific material, surface finish etc., as applicable 4 General requirements The following specifications for flexible single-sided and double-sided printed boards without through-connections shall be prepared, unless a suitable capability detail specification already exists, usin
23、g this British Standard as a basis: a) capability detail specifications for general use or applying to specific applications; b) customer detail specifications, which shall be prepared in accordance with BS 123000:2001, 7.2. NOTE 1 BS 123400-003 is an example of a capability detail specification for
24、 flexible single-sided and double-sided printed boards without through-connections. NOTE 2 A capability detail specification is prepared either by an international or national body or by a manufacturer (see also BS CECC 00111-4). A customer detail specification should preferably be written by the cu
25、stomer and allocated a number within the customers own system. Further details are given in BS 123000 and BS CECC 00114-3. 5 Capability approval 5.1 Basic capability Testing shall be carried out on the composite test pattern detailed in clause 9. 5.2 Additional capability BS 123000:2001, 5.3.3 shall
26、 apply. NOTE For multiple arrangements see also clause 9. 5.3 Maintenance of capability approval BS 123000:2001, 5.6 shall apply.BS 123400:2001 2 BSI 17 December 2001 6 Relevant specification The relevant specification shall contain all the information necessary to define the printed board clearly a
27、nd completely. Care shall be taken to avoid unnecessary proscriptions. Tolerances shall be stated as necessary. Nominal values without tolerances, or simple maximum or minimum values, shall be given where these are sufficient. Where tolerances are necessary for certain areas or parts of the printed
28、board only, they shall be applied and restricted to those areas or parts. If there are several possibilities of presentation, of tolerance classes etc., the selections given in BS 6221-3 shall be applied as practical. In the case of discrepancy between the customer detail specification and other per
29、tinent specifications (e.g. generic specification, sectional specification or capability detail specification), the customer detail specification shall prevail. 7 Capability test programme For initial demonstration and subsequent re-demonstration, the capability approval test programme shall be in a
30、ccordance with the relevant capability detail specification. Demonstration of additional capability shall be in accordance with BS 123000:2001, 5.3.3. NOTE For composite test pattern specimens, see clause 9 and Figure 1 and Figure 2. Examples of multiple arrangements of test patterns are shown in Fi
31、gure 3. Examples relating to access holes are shown in Figure 4, and examples of delamination are shown in Figure 5. There shall be no failures during any demonstration of capability. 8 Quality conformity inspection 8.1 General Quality conformity inspection shall be conducted on samples which are ei
32、ther taken from the production batch, or which are representative of the production batch (i.e. manufactured using the same processes, having the same features, and concurrent with the released batch). 8.2 Sampling plans The sampling plans of BS 6001-1, as referenced in Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3,
33、 shall be used. In all cases there shall be no defects. NOTE 1 Unless otherwise specified, production boards and/or specially designed test patterns may be used for carrying out tests for the lot-by-lot and periodic inspection. NOTE 2 Where specially designed test patterns are used, they may be incl
34、uded in the panel. They may be based upon the appropriate pattern of the composite test pattern as detailed in clause 9. 8.3 Inspection groups Inspection level C shall be used, unless another inspection level is specified in the customer detail specification. Other inspection levels shall be in acco
35、rdance with Table 1 and Table 2. Printed boards shall be aggregated into inspection lots in accordance with BS 123000:2001, 6.1. NOTE For definition of the inspection groups, see BS 123000:2001, 6.3. Quality conformity inspection shall be carried out in accordance with Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3.B
