Reverse Engineering PCB Board Quality Assurance Provision
Reverse Engineering PCB Board Quality Assurance Provision included on the Government drawings such as Layout drawing, List of component, Gerber file and Schematic diagram are the documented requirements, procedures which include but not limited to the component de-soldering, measurement, procurement and assembly, criteria necessary for demonstrating that drawing conform to user requirements and, that material used for PCB Board manufacturing and associated services include manufacturing and assembly conform to approved designs.
Normally, QAPs should be prepared for inclusion on component, sub-assembly, and assembly drawings.
