Pete,

Great question.....and a BIG ONE....

My short answer would be as follows: The existing IPC group that's working
on the "6012 Certification Process for Fabricators" will be answering your
question".  That being said, I'm sure they would invite your inputs.  

However, until this task is completed, there are a lot of similar questions.
Others, feel free to fill in the blanks.

Mike

Subject: [IPC-600-6012] Quality Conformance Testing IPC-6012 Para. 4.3


All:

IPC 6012 has a requirement for  monthly conformance testing but it does
not state what material should be tested - 

Under the military specifications
(MIL-P-55110/MIL-PRF-31032/MIL-P-50884) a manufacture running both
polyimide and epoxy resins would be required to submit samples of both
material types each month unless the requirement is tailored (31032
allows tailoring).

What is the groups opinion? Should this be addressed in some manner - or
is it addressed and I'm missing it?

Thanks,
