NASA-STD-8739.1A - Polymeric Application on Electronic Assemblies
NASA-STD-8739.1 – Polymeric Application on Electronic Assemblies is NASA’s workmanship standard for polymeric applications to flight hardware and critical ground support equipment. This includes staking, conformal coating, encapsulation, and bonding.
The curriculum uses a slide presentation, a student workbook, practical exercises, quizzes and exams. Practical exercises include demonstrating application techniques of polymeric material and demonstration of students’ competency for using these techniques in a manner that produces hardware that meets the requirements of the standard.
This course is a prerequisite for NASA-STD-8739.1 operator or level B instructor certification.
Vision screening is a prerequisite per NASA-STD-8739.6.

- Conformal coating of PWAs
- Components requiring staking
- Bonding of components
- Encapsulation of components and connectors
- Inspection methodology
Certification Levels
- Inspector – The full course is not applicable for inspectors. Please refer to the single day inspector-only course for inspector training to the NASA-STD-8739.1A standard.
- Operator – This level of training is applicable to personnel who will be responsible for applying polymeric materials to spaceflight hardware in the fabrication process.
- Operator/Inspector Dual Cert – This training level applies to students who require the flexibility to fabricate spaceflight hardware as well as perform inspections on other operator’s workmanship. Students training to this level must meet the passing criteria for operators as well as inspectors.
- Supplier Level B Instructor – The responsibility of the Level B Instructor is to facilitate training courses to his or her internal team for the NASA workmanship standards. This Level B Instructor training completes the prerequisites for certification. Returning to NMTTC for the 3-day Level B Instructor training course is not required for NASA-STD-8739.1A Level B certification.
Course Length
- Initial Training: 32 Hours / 4 Days
- Retraining: 16 Hours / 2 Days
