2.3 Definition of Terms

Terms and definitions shall be in accordance with IPC-T-50 and a PRI Quality Manual or as specified herein:

AUTHORIZED: By customer

CALIBRATION: As it relates to this checklist it is a validation of the tool / measuring equipment

against an agreed upon standard, using a “third party” source with appropriate accreditation to

national or international standards to establish metrological confirmation.

CHARACTERISTIC: In this checklist it refers to a quality characteristic inherent in a product or

process related to a requirement.

CUSTOMER: Reference to customer may include the direct customer (internal / external),

long term contract and / or purchase order issuer.

FIFO: First-in first-out, based upon the date or additional methodology

FIRST ARTICLE INSPECTION: A complete, independent, and documented physical and functional

inspection process to verify that prescribed production methods have produced an acceptable item as specified by engineering drawings, planning, purchase order, engineering specifications, and/or other applicable design documents.

IN PROCESS: Parts have been accepted for processing and released to manufacturing but

not yet accepted at final inspection or scrapped. In process inspections are typically "visual"

(water break, uniformity, coverage, etc.) checks to determine if parts should proceed to the

next processing step.

JOB: All of the hardware processed to a single order control document as a lot or multiple

lots with a unique control number.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS: The features of a material, process, or part whose variation has

a significant influence on product fit, performance, service life, or manufacturability.

MEASURING EQUIPMENT: It is a measuring instrument, a calibrated source, a measurement

standard, reference material or auxiliary apparatus or combination thereof necessary to realize a

measurement process.

METROLOGICAL CONFIRMATION: It is a set of operations required to ensure that the measuring

equipment conforms to the requirements for its intended use. Metrological confirmation generally includes calibration or verification, any necessary adjustment or repair, and subsequent recalibration, comparison with the metrological requirements for the intended use of the equipment, as well as any required sealing and labeling. Fitness of the measuring equipment for the intended use shall have been demonstrated and documented.

OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE: As used in this checklist, it is data supporting the existence or verity of

something. It may be obtained through observation, measurement, test or other means.

OUTSOURCED PROCESS: "Outsourcing" involves transferring or sharing management

control and/or decision-making of a business function to an outside supplier, which involves a

degree of two-way information exchange, coordination and trust between the outsourcer and

its client."

OVERRIDE: As a noun and in relation to this situation is a device or system used to override

a control. Override as a transitive verb in this situation means to prevail over (dominate); to

annul a requirement; to neutralize the action of an automatic control or the act of

neutralization as an automatic control.

PLAN: A scheme or method of acting, proceeding, etc., developed in advance with tasks,

time bound, and assignments.

POLICY: A written company philosophy on how something should be done in very broad generic

terms. The existence of a procedure shall satisfy the requirements for a policy.

POT-LIFE: The length of time that a catalyzed resin system retains a viscosity low enough to be

used in processing. Also known as “working life” or “usable life”.

PROCEDURE: As used in this Checklist, a procedure is a specified way to carry out an activity or

process. A procedure shall be given the same accord as a documented procedure is given in

International Standards. This means that the procedure is established, documented, implemented and maintained. A single document may address the requirements for one or more procedures. A requirement for a procedure may be covered by more than one document. Documentation for the procedure can be in any form or type of medium, including work instructions and drawings.

PURGE: the planned review, collection, segregation, and disposition of non conforming material.

RECORD DOCUMENT: As it relates to this checklist, it could be a quality record; a completed

process notation on a traveler or process sheet; or other documents stating results achieved or

providing evidence of activities performed. Records can be used to document traceability and to

provide evidence of verification.

REQUIREMENT: It is a need or expectation that is stated, generally implied or obligatory. In effect it is an expression in the content of a procedure or process conveying criteria to be fulfilled if

compliance with the procedure or process is to be claimed and from which no deviation is permitted.

SAPONIFIER: Alkaline chemicals, added to water, that convert rosin/resin flux residues in

the water to soluble soaps. Source: SMT in Line website (http://www.smtinline.com/html

en/smtterms.html#A)

TEST: It is a determination of one or more characteristics according to a procedure.

VALIDATION: As it pertains to this checklist it is confirmation, through the provision of objective

evidence, that the requirements for a specific intended use or application have been fulfilled.

VERIFICATION: As it relates to this checklist, it is the same as validation and is used for an in

process check of the tool /measuring equipment. The production department using the tool could perform the verification, or it could be performed by an inspector or manufacturing engineer who is familiar with the process.
