Familiar with die shear on die, but not for heatsinks.  Although, it should
still be meaningful if you had equipment that measured to that high a value.

Die shear test methods:
Mil-Std-883, Method 2019
Mil-Std-750, Method 2017
IPC-TM-650, Method 2.4.42.2

Mil test methods available at http://www.dscc.dla.mil/
IPC test methods available at http://www.ipc.org

Test houses maybe close to you and possibly capable:
ISE Labs, http://www.iselabs.com/
Brosnan Test Labs, http://www.brosnantest.com/
Microtek (Anahiem), http://www.thetestlab.com
Pentest Reliability Services, http://www.pentest.com/

Sorry if I missed anyone in this geographic location, and if I did, please let
me know.
