Greetings,
I've been asked to post the following questions for discussion related to 6012/6013. Our Quality Engineering group wanted to clarify the following.
We would like to know how others are interpreting Referee Testing per paragraph 4.2.2 of IPC-6012A1 and paragraph 4.2.1 of IPC-6013-1.
Both paragraphs read as follows:
ISSUE 1:
Two additional microsection sets from the same panel may be prepared and evaluated for microsection defects that are considered to be isolated or random in nature or caused by microsection preparation. For acceptance, both referee sets must be defect free.
How many coupons (A, B, A/B) are required to be tested? What is considered to be a set? Is a pair a set; therefore 4 coupons are needed?
ISSUE 2:
As a side issue, para 4.2 "Acceptance Testing" does not include Plating voids (para 3.6.2.2), Laminate cracks (para 3.6.2.4), and Smear removal (para 3.6.2.6). Acceptance testing being the equivalent of the old Group A. And after reading the spec again, it really appears to me that we only need to look at one coupon. Table 4-3 says "A or B" for structural integrity properties after thermal stress.
Thanks for your consideration,
