The IPC Qualified Products List (QPL) includes both the qualified products and the test reports validating those products. The IPC Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) includes qualified electronics assembly processes.

IPC qualification provides suppliers the opportunity to become part of a network of trusted sources that industry will look to first and foremost when evaluating existing and potential business partners.
