IPC is the process of publishing IPC-1720 which is the Assembly 
Qualification Profile.  This document gives a series of templates with 
which the contract assembly house can detail their capabilities.  I think 
this would be a good starting point for you.  We are also including an 
electronic version of the templates along with the 1720.  We are doing a 
final scrub of the electronic version this week and hope to have the hard 
copy go to press next week. Copies will be available from IPC for $70 for 
IPC member companies and $140 for non members. 

If you are interested in this, please contact our order department x318 
or [log in to unmask], in about 30 days.

Regards
Dave
