Before the next supplier discussion

Request the following evidence and record any gaps before approving a quote or production run.

• BOM and revision control
• IPC or workmanship criteria
• ESD control evidence
• Functional or in-circuit test coverage

Next steps

1. Send controlled Gerber, BOM and assembly notes.
2. Separate prototype assumptions from production assumptions.
3. Ask for test evidence before approving ramp-up.
