The Reverse Engineering PCB Data Evaluation sub-phase should take below consideration into account:
All required PCB manufacturing materials specified in the bill of materials, notes, military or process specifications, or elsewhere within the applicable data? (Any deletions or omissions should be specified.)
Reverse Engineering PCB Data Evaluation
Are all parts (electronic or mechnically) completely dimensioned or otherwise fully defined? (Any deletions or omissions should be specified.)
Are all processes, finishes, material specifications, and other necessary elements noted in the data? (Any deletions or omissions should be specified. Notes should be made of any conflicting information or potential errors in the data.)
Does the data indicate that the item or components thereof are “Source Controlled,” “Altered Item,” “Selected Item,” or otherwise source restricted? (If so, the applicable restriction and the source(s) should be identified.) Are acceptance test requirements noted? (If so, such requirements should be identified.)
Are all inspection requirements which would be required by normal industry engineering practices noted in the available data; such as dye penetrant, hardness tests, etc? (If not, the type of missing information should be identified.)
Does the data indicate that the part is critical or has critical characteristics? If so, are the critical characteristics identified and defined? (The findings should be summarized.)
Does the manufacture of the item require a loft or contour drawing? If so, is the drawing identified or the required contour adequately described? (If contour or loft drawings are required for manufacture of the item, but are not contained within the data, this fact should be noted.)
If the part is to mate with other parts, such as hole patterns, are the mating parts identified in the data? (If not, a note should be included concerning the absence of such information.)
Does the manufacture of the item require the use of master or coordinated tooling? If so, is the master or coordinated tooling identified in the data? (The use of jigs or fixtures to ease manufacture or assembly should not be considered master tooling.)
Is proprietary Reverse Engineering PCB Data necessary to manufacture the part? (If so, the absence of the data should be noted and identification made of the proprietary data to the extent possible, based on the unrestricted data available.)
