Hi Ken,
You can find the AEC specs at this site:
http://www.aecouncil.com/AECDocuments.html

At the bottom of the page is the Certificate of Design, Construction, and
Qualification. You can request this from manufacturers of AEC-Q parts. That
said, you'll find that the process starts with skimming data sheets. The
actual documentation of compliance is typically part of a Production Part
Approval Process (PPAP), in Automotive this will comply with the AIAG
Automotive Product Quality Planning (APQP) Standards in America and ISO/TS
16949 in Europe. The ultimate arbiter is whatever OEM you're selling to.

Hope that helps.

Tom
