Specifying electroless nickel thickness

Please help us understand when electroless nickel thickness is called out, lets say .001 thick grade (a) is this a per surface build up or an over all part growth of .0005 per side?

Hi, Tim. It would be per side, but the spec isn't good enough. It must say minimum, average, or whatever.

Regards,
