The supplier of the interface materials should be able to give you the
documentation you need. I don't think there can be a "standard" as the
materials vary greatly in their application techniques. We use several
products by Chomerics (thermally conductive tapes for heatsink attachment)
and they publish very detailed assembly (and disassembly) instructions for
them.

Subject: [TN] Heat Sink Assembly Rules


Good Friday Morning,

Is there an existing standard or some published document (it needn't be an
industry standard) that outlines heat sink assembly using thermal interface
materials?  I'm trying to put together some assembly guidelines for my
assemblers and my out source vendors so we all can have a reference or
target for what is expected.

Thanks in advance,
