Is there a guideline for the manufacturing of PC Boards? I find that my board changes dramatically from board house to board house, causing about 2% failure rate.

there are IPC standards, I do not know them all off hand.

What are the boards failing for? I have found that sometimes the original design is not optimum for any number of reasons. Some fab shops catch these and correct and may or may not inform you of the changes they made while others "build to print".

You may want to review the failures you see with the designers and the fab house and see what the "whys" are.

Each PCB shop has different capabilities as well and this may be waht you are seeing.
