A semi-knocked-down kit (SKD) or incompletely disassembled kit (although it has never been assembled) is a kit of the partially assembled parts of a product. Both types of KDs, complete and incomplete, are collectively referred to within the auto industry as knocked-down export ( KDX ), and cars assembled in the country of origin and exported ...
Type approval or certificate of conformity is granted to a product that meets a minimum set of regulatory, technical and safety requirements. Generally, type approval is required before a product is allowed to be sold in a particular country, so the requirements for a given product will vary around the world.
Beyond simple conformance, other requirements for efficiency, interoperability, or compliance may apply. Conformance testing may be undertaken by the producer of the product or service being assessed, by a user, or by an accredited independent organization, which can sometimes be the author of the standard being used.
Compliant structures are often created as an alternative to similar mechanisms that use multiple parts. There are two main advantages for using compliant mechanisms: Low cost: A compliant mechanism can usually be fabricated into a single structure, which is a dramatic simplification in the number of required parts.
An IBM circuit board from a NASA Space Shuttle computer with a conformal coating applied. Conformal coating is a protective, breathable coating of thin polymeric film applied to printed circuit boards (PCBs).
International Automotive Task Force 16949 (IATF 16949) is an international standard for automotive management systems that is a widely adopted and standardized quality management system for the automotive sector.
Compliant bonding is used to connect gold wires to electrical components such as integrated circuit "chips". It was invented by Alexander Coucoulas in the 1960s. [ 1 ] The bond is formed well below the melting point of the mating gold surfaces and is therefore referred to as a solid-state type bond.
Codelist Schemas: a NIEM-conformant schema which provides a list of acceptable values that a data element will be constrained to. The only mandatory schemas for validation are the NIEM reference schemas or a correct subset, however the IEPD specification requires that an IEPD include an exchange schema (along with the reference schemas or ...
