(OP)
Can you please provide me more information on below point.
This is information is from a previous post at www.eng-tips.com by member ShaggyPE:

Under Solidworks Part modelling standard

6.17 Verification and Validation will need to occur on solid models that are given or intend to be given to manufactures. This validation is not indicating that the CAD model is suitable directly for CNC manufacturing. Additional work would be necessary to prepare the CAD model for CNC manufacturing (MMC adjustments etc). The model is simply a reference for the manufacture to use as they see fit. The drawing is still the contract document. This is not to be confused with Digital Product Description (see References and drawings section.) A note is to be added to form 4.4 (Drawing Checklist) and in PDM Meta-Data specifying that the model has been reviewed and approved for accuracy and conformance with the drawing. Do specify revision and iteration reviewed.

Regards,
Pradeep

RE: checklist or set of company standards for making models

The model is used as reference only to program CNC. Its drawing is controlling document and should be followed for CNC programming.

pnneerer,

The note states that the drawing is the reference the part must be made to, and that it will be inspected to. The model will be provided if the vendor asks for it. There are multiple ways to model features with accurate tolerances. The vendor must figure out how this was done.
