Abstract: This document from the MFGM017 project provides guidance in
applying consistent processes for assuring competent, independent
assessment of conformance of a product to an industry standard.
Intended audiences are IC makers who prefer suppliers to provide
third-party assessment of conformance or certification, suppliers
who are requested to provide third-party assessment or
certification, and test service providers who perform
assessments. The guideline includes recommended criteria and
processes for third-party test service providers (TSPs) who
assess the conformance of an implementation with respect to
standards relevant to the semiconductor industry. This document
covers general guidance on processes and criteria for third-party
test service providers. Guidance specific to integration and
automation software standards TSPs is in the appendix. This
document complements Technology Transfers #02114342A-ENG,
02114343A-ENG, and 02114345B-ENG.
