To establish international acceptance for standards and guidelines in electronics assembly technology. The standards and guidelines are to be developed through a systematic review of existing standards or working through member country standards organizations to refine or create new standards related to electronics assembly technology .

Areas of immediate work will include evaluating standards or quidelines for the following:

1. Assembly process definitions (methods and options)

2. Solder material, fluxes and cleaning standards

3. Solder joint and workmanship standards (NTL-STD-SOLD)

4. Substrate material selection and specification

5. Requirements for writing specifications for SMT

6. In process test and measurement methods
