The criterion in A-610 has to do with the effect of assembly processing on
the solder mask, the conditions post assembly are not typically a factor
post fabrication (pre-assembly).

Subject: [IPC-600-6012] Inspection of Solder Resist
I just run into a problem between IPC-A-600 and IPC-A-610. In the IPC
600 Solder Resist cracking is not addressed with the waves and wrinkles
so it is not inspected for and generally ignored. However, IPC-A-610
states that crack of the resist is a rejection. The enclosed picture is
an example of the crack on bare board.
