IPC J-STD-001 – Requirement for Soldering Electrical and Electronic Assemblies Space Addendum
This Addendum covers the requirements for specific products that must cope with the rigorous vibration and thermal cycling seen in harsh operating environments found in Space and military applications.
The IPC J-STD-001 Space Addendum has become the internationally renowned standard for electronics manufacturing organisations who build products for the Space and Defence Industries. This is an advanced course, and it is a requirement that candidates have previously completed IPC J-STD-001 within 3 months.
The course will take you through not only the materials, methods and verification principles required for high-quality soldered joints but also the value of process control.

What does the IPC-J-STD-001 Space Addendum Certification cover?
IPC-J-STD-001 Space Addendum course addresses high reliability/critical electronic products e.g. products used in space, military or other mission critical settings.
While this is not an entry level soldering course, the basic techniques of soldering are covered through theory. The course addresses flux, solder composition, soldering to terminals, through-hole, surface-mount devices, and their inspection.
The training covers the elements required for producing high-quality soldered joints:
Materials
Methods
Verification Standards
IPC-J-STD-001 Space Addendum: Who is it for?
The J STD 001 standard is aimed at those who are assembling circuit board assemblies where the quality of soldered joints is key for those operating in class 3 – High reliability/critical electronic products.
Job roles that should consider this training are those who are involved from a practical perspective such as Process Engineers, Assembly Operators, Quality Inspectors, and anyone responsible for the accuracy of soldered assemblies, as well as training personnel.
The pre-requisite for the standard IPC-J-STD-001 Space Addendum is that candidates should have completed IPC J-STD-001 within the last 3 months.

We’re centrally located in the UK with excellent transport links:
- Address: MARQ-ONE Ltd, Eliot Park Innovation Centre, Barling Way, Nuneaton CV10 7RH
- Easy access to major road and rail networks
- Close to two international airports
While not strictly required, some electronics experience is helpful. You should understand basic electronic theory, be able to identify components and have good soldering skills for practical courses.
If you’re new to soldering, we recommend taking our basic soldering course first.
All IPC Certifications (CIS, CSE, and CIT levels) are valid for two years. You can recertify within 3 months before expiry but if your certificate expires, you’ll need to take the full course again.
Most courses take 3-4 days, some may be shorter. Contact us for a precise schedule based on your needs.
There are more details about each course available which should help you identify what is the best fit for you, however, what you may think you need and what you actually need can be two different things – if you need more information don’t hesitate to get in touch!
