Susan, George, Thnx on Ur respond.... :) I was thinking of assigning a specific document number to the Specification Tree already and that is one of the alternatives of course. As I see it (I could be mistaking me) is that the document itself would be a subject of a whole lot of changes and as we all know even a standards could change a document number... As soon as something like that happens, my internal document needs to be updated.... George has a point when saying that the map is a great help when orientating through the specs. That's why I would like to specify the whole Specification Tree with a document number and always be certain that there is a latest version of the document available somewhere to obtain. Wouldn't this be a beautiful solution to be able to refer to, for instance IPC-SPEC-TREE or IPC-DOC-TAB as a general document and that way specifying any IPC document needed? If I haven't misunderstood, this would satisfy both ISO9000 demands and anybody's Q-department. At the same time the whole organization has one document to relay on and document itself doesn't need to be updated as soon a new revision of any standards we use appears.... ************************************************************************* Sasha Miladinovic - Production Engineering Amersham Biosciences, PCB Production, Umeå Tel: +46 (0) 90 150 232 Fax: +46 (0) 90 138 372 E-mail: [log in to unmask] ************************************************************************* [log in to unmask] Sent by: TechNet <[log in to unmask]> 2003-11-21 15:09 Please respond to "TechNet E-Mail Forum."; Please respond to Robisan1 To: [log in to unmask] cc: Subject: Re: [TN] IPC Specification Tree NUMBER REQUEST Sasha The easiest way would be for YOU to assign a number to the IPC Specification Tree. The link that was provided now a couple of times could be referenced as your "in-house" number. There certainly is no need to rewrite specs. just perhaps take exception to specific attributes.
