Has anyone seen or put together a good collection of proper handling procedures for components and PCB's? I realize a lot of it is no-brainer stuff, but I need some depth for a training class we are putting together. This would include ESD, Moisture

The auditor may be using "verify" in an ESD Program context. See ANSI/ESD S20.20 [1999], 6.1.3, Compliance Verification Plan. It gives one definition of what the auditor may be seeking. For more on verification programs, look here: http://www.protek
