We have some new customers that are requiring class 3 IPC standards, and my question is, how would that translate into a labor rate increase as compared to class 2 rates? I'm assuming the labor quote would increase by at least 15-20%, if not more. An

Nearly all of our assemblies have to meet class 3 requirements and we regularly use 5 and 6 mil stencils. If you've got reasonably well controlled processes you won't have any trouble getting class 3 joints on QFPs and discretes.

Are you capable of doing Class 3 products? Does the design, bare PCB board and assembly meet the requirements of Class 3?

Some Class 3 customers don't want their products to be comingled in assembly processes with Class 2 products.

Study on process flow. Charge base on additional effort put to meet Class 3.
