I recommend you develop a company standard to define the proper application and use of published Industry or Military documents like IPC A600 and do not rewrite the industry or military document. Use your company document to clarify, limit, or expand on the subject matter already found in the published documents. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: [TN] Company's own Standards....necessary?? Author: "TechNet E-Mail Forum." <[log in to unmask]>, at CCGATE Date: 8/6/98 8:29 AM I want to know if it is necessary for an OEM company to set up its own workmanship standard and inspection criteria instead of following the industry standards, like IPC. Can anyone tell me what are some of the benefits of having its own guideline? I am also trying to find some online papers on BGA inspection on board level using X ray machine. If you came across one, please let me know where can I obtain a copy. Thanks in advance. ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC's web site (http://www.ipc.org) "On-Line Services" section for additional information.
