scope:

This revision now encompasses administrative quality problems, in addition to the electrical and visual/mechanical quality problems that were addressed in the original release. A standard set of problem categories for each of these three types of component problems is presented for tracking and reporting purposes. A common set of customer and supplier expectations and requirements are set forth to help facilitate the successful problem analysis and corrective action of any type of component quality problem. Formerly known as EIA-671 (November 1996). Became JESD671-A after revision, December 1999.
