Which IPC documents should a PCB layout designer have?

[fellow]

Upto now, I've managed to get away with using IPC standards to guide me.
However, I've decided to dip into my wallet and pay for the standards that I
consider necessary as a "professional" designer. Eg. IPC-2221PCB Design
general, IPC-SM-782A Design and land pattern, PCB libraries IPC-7351. What
standards to you PCB layout guys use?

Cheers,
Fellow.

Don't bother with the documents listed by the last poster. I
don't know what that poster's motive is but neither have anything
to do with PCB design other than they both involve PCBs in one
manner or another. IPC-A-610 is a guide to the inspection of
printed circuit assemblies (stuffed boards), J-STD-001 is
basically a soldering manual.

I would say that you want:
IPC-4101, IPC-2221, IPC-2222, SM-782 &amendments 1 & 2, IPC-2615,
there are a few others but I can't recall them right now.

Find out what is included in IPC-M-106, it is relatively new
& I couldn't find the list of included documents. Maybe it is
more than you need but at a cheaper price. Similarly IPC-M-105.
Consider getting the IPC-PWB-CRT-SG01 or the CD and go for
full certification. Then the advanced certification afterward.

Eventually you will want:
IPC-2141, IPC-2252

You may want:
A-600G - Acceptability of Printed Boards
