Abstract: This document from the MFGM017 project provides direction 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 that suppliers 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 processes for assessments
that may be applied to conformance assessment of an
implementation with respect to standards relevant to the
semiconductor industry. The purpose of this document is to
provide generic guidelines and processes for the development of
assessment criteria. Additionally, guidance is provided in the
appendix for 300 mm equipment communication and automation
standards to provide direction for industry-accepted
certification assessment criteria and methods that reflect
current industry usage. This document complements Technology
Transfers #02114342A-ENG, 02114343A-ENG, and 02114344A-ENG.
