When you want to make a PCB, what informations are necessary to provide to the PCB manufacturer?

I am a mechanical designer. I have sent my PCB design file to manufacturer. But they said the data may be not enough. So what data are you used to send to your PCB manufacturer.
  • Dimensions of the PCB
  • Thickness
  • Drill chart
  • Layer construction
  • Shape Diagram
  • Gerber Data
  • Special finishing requirement.
  • Panel Diagram

What Others Are Asking

What kinds of test is suitable for low volume PCB order?

I’ve ordered fabrication and assembly of small PCB batches (100pcs) a couple of times already. Each time the factory asked me if I want to do test on the PCB. But I don’t what to do about it. And I test them by myself. Then, the result of the testing is unacceptable with 15% soldering problems. So bad. I think I will ask the supplier to test them before delivery.
