JEDEC Committee:
JC-13 Government Liaison

JC-13 is responsible for standardizing quality and reliability methodologies for solid state products used in military, space, and other environments requiring special-use condition capabilities beyond standard commercial practices. This includes long-term reliability and/or special screening requirements.

Its purpose is to provide the member companies and their customers with uniform, cost-effective, proven, customer-accepted methodologies for specifying and evaluating special-use products, with the end goal of enhancing the performance and reliability of those products. Activities include the development, coordination, and maintenance of standards documents regarding product quality and reliability, validation systems, and process management.

The committee also contributes to similar and related documents that are generated and maintained by other organizations. To accomplish this charter, the committee maintains liaisons with customers, other JEDEC committees, government agencies, and interested parties that have special application needs.
