Tempo is included in the QML as a qualified manufacturer offering Class 3 production capabilities backed by an engineering team certified to the IPC J-STD-001 with Space Addendum, having its site qualified to that same standard, and having an inspection team certified to the IPC-A-610 inspection standard. Tempo achieved its original IPC Validation Services QML recognition status in 2019. With its requalification, Tempo maintains its QML status as an IPC-trusted source – vetted to the highest standard – capable of manufacturing in accordance with industry best practices and at the highest level of quality.

“Tempo’s electronics manufacturing platform takes a fundamentally different approach to deliver quality, speed, and agility together, unlike any other PCBA manufacturer, and this qualification validates that we do so at the highest level possible. Through our platform, we have delivered boards for customers for the most demanding applications on earth – and beyond to space,” said Mattias Cedergren, Tempo’s Chief Manufacturing Officer. “We appreciate the confirmation from IPC Validation Services that Tempo meets the industry’s highest standards.”

IPC is the global association for electronics manufacturing. IPC's Validations Services QML Programs were developed to promote supply chain verification. It also provides auditing and qualification of electronics companies' products and identifies processes that conform to IPC standards.
