Building jig for a project, trying to think of the ISO standard that would apply

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying applicable ISO standards for building a jig, specifically for a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) project. Participants explore various standards and their relevance, while also debating the necessity of documentation and customer input.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants suggest ISO standards such as ISO 8888, ISO 10377, ISO 14990, and ISO MADE might apply to the jig.
  • One participant questions the need for documentation and suggests that customer input may be more relevant than the specifics of the jig.
  • Another participant expresses skepticism about the necessity of standardizing methods for using tools like hammers in the context of jigs.
  • There is a mention of potential electrical standards and material standards that could apply to a PCB jig, including ISO 9001.
  • Concerns are raised about misconceptions regarding ISO standards and the importance of understanding them before asking questions.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the relevance of customer input and the necessity of standards. There is no consensus on which ISO standards are applicable or the overall approach to the project.

Contextual Notes

Some participants highlight the importance of understanding ISO standards and their applications, suggesting that the OP may need to familiarize themselves with the standards to ask more informed questions.

Whelp, it might help if you described what the jig will be used for, no? :wink:

PCB jig.
 
Why document it at all? Who cares what you are building? Will a customer care? Maybe ask the customer? Lordy...
 
What is wrong with you Berkman! No one ever seeks to find out what the customer wants! They know nothing!
It is the board room players who know what the pubic wants and needs.. Do come along old Bean! get with he program.

I feel like the kid in your avatar right now, trying to help the OP... :wink:
 
I believe it was that great visionary, Horace Dodge ( Dodge motors bought by Chrysler) who opined
" The Public wants a car a man can enter wearing a Top Hat" hence all the Dodges were super tall, high center of gravity, lot of aero drag but hey, you can still wear your top hat! Now that is being in tune with the buying public!
 
think earthing standards maybe apply
would any electrical standard apply to a pcb jig?
is there any material standards ?
would iso 9001 apply?
 
Why do you need a jig ? Manufacture, testing, ESD ?

The method and jigs used by a manufacturer, to meet the PCB standards required, will probably be a trade secret = IP. That should not be standardised. It should be specified contractually.

Why is it necessary to have a standard way that you must hold a hammer to do a standard job?

Well i have hit my thumb a few times but that was nit the hammer. It was the nails bent.
What is the ISO for bent nails?
 
  • #11
I think the OP has misconceptions about ISO standards, when to use them, where to find them, what they say. Our answers can't be of much help.

@lee123456789, get a copy of some ISO standard, any standard. Read it and see if you understand it. That will help you to express better questions.
