ECO board mod spec?

[[email protected]]

Is there an IPC or some other body that makes a spec that details how
to make mods to a board?
We've got two pins of a LQFP-48 that need to be shorted together.
Right now we just tossed an 0402 0R resistor across these pins and
soldered it there.

This is for a product that stays on someone's desk. No corrosive
gases, vibration, shock, etc... not more than a normal product would
see, eg iPod or whatever.

I know there are rework specs, but are there any ECO specs?

Last time I needed to do that, I specified a blob of solder.

Damn; no wonder all those solder bridges I have been "fixing" didn't
help! So much for solder wick.

The only "spec" I know of is what makes the customer happy, in a case like
this. I'm sure there are ISO "guidelines" or something, but the spec
itself should be written by the company's engineers/techs, and signed off
by the same guy who signs off on the P.O.

Cheers!
