The CDIF Family of Standards is primarily designed to be used as a description of a mechanism for transferring information between CASE tools. It facilitates a successful transfer when the authors of the importing and exporting tools have nothing in common except an agreement to conform to CDIF. The language that is defined for the Transfer Format also has applicability as a general language for Import/Export from repositories. The CDIF Integrated Meta-model defined for CASE also has applicability as the basis of standard definitions for use in repositories. The standards that form the complete family of CDIF Standards are documented in EIA/IS-106 CDIF - CASE Data Interchange Format - Overview. These standards cover the overall framework, the transfer format and the CDIF Integrated Meta-model. The diagram in Figure 1 depicts the various standards that comprise the CDIF Family of Standards. The shaded box depicts this Standard and its position in the CDIF Family of Standards.

This document is applicable to electronic component and equipment manufacturing.

This Specification covers a statistical sampling plan for lot inspection by attributes. It verifies that the customer's specified quality level (SQL) is not being exceeded. The estimate of fraction nonconforming determined by EIA Interim Standard No. EIA-554 is used to select the optimum sample plan for verifying that a given lot meets the specified quality level (SQL).

Conventional attribute sampling plans based upon nonzero acceptance numbers are no longer desirable. In addition, emphasis is now placed on the quality level that is received by the customer. This relates directly to the Lot Tolerance Percent Defective (LTPD) value or the Limiting Quality Protection of MIL-STD-105. Measuring quality levels in percent nonconforming, although not incorrect, has been replaced with quality levels measured in parts per million (PPM). As a result, this standard addresses the need for sampling plans that can augment MIL-STD-105, are based upon a zero acceptance number, and address quality (nonconformance) levels in the parts per million range. This document does not address minor nonconformances, which are defined as nonconformances that are not likely to reduce materially the usability of the unit of product for its intended purpose.

This standard specifies requirements for the approval and maintenance of a manufacturer's capability and the procedures for the test and release of passive electronic components manufactured under capability approval. It also includes requirements for generic specifications that invoke this standard. It applies to all passive electronic components to be released under the capability requirements of an EIA generic and/or sectional and/or detail specification.

This standard is intended to provide guidance for selecting standardized methods for estimating the proportion nonconforming expressed as PPM. These methods are contained in EIA 554-1, EIA 554-2 and EIA 591.

This model is designed to enhance insight into the application of meaningful metrics. The emphasis is on business processes which may best provide indication of the level of risk to the customer when contemplating or continuing business with the supplier base. (E.g., the RFP/RFQ, proposal, supplier selection, and performance).
