Class 3: High Performance/Harsh Environment.
Typically, the end-use environment would not cause failures. It is an important piece to the process, materials, and inspections standard for the cable and wire harness industry.

Use of the IPC/WHMA-A-620 standard requires agreement on the Class to which the product belongs.
