Equipment Providers: Demonstrate Your IPC-CFX Support for Legacy Equipment in the Field
As interest in IPC-CFX grows, EMS and OEM companies are asking IPC about equipment providers’ plans for IPC-CFX implementation support for legacy equipment in the field. To help guide these companies to successful implementations of IPC-CFX using their existing equipment, IPC is building a list of equipment provider statements of support for IPC-CFX implementations for legacy equipment.
IPC will publish equipment provider plans for legacy equipment in the field on the IPC-CFX website and communicate this list to industry.
This page includes several ways for you to get involved with IPC-CFX today as you navigate your path to IPC-CFX success.

Submit Messages for Equipment
IPC-CFX was developed so any piece of manufacturing line equipment can be included in the standard. If you have equipment you feel is not adequately covered by the standard, you can submit IPC-CFX message sets to Github or submit your comments to the 2-17 Subcommittee.
