As unaccustomed as I am in dealing with haloes, let's hope the direction is not down a road paved with good intentions. I agree this is due primarily with polyimide or other high modulus (tough) materials and is a design or lack there-of issue. If not well or acceptably defined in the Fabricators view, this will be an AABUS issue.

Jim is headed in the right direction.
All of the issues I have with haloing are with polyimide material. If this is universal, we might modify requirements by material type.

John - this still does not resolve the issue we parked.
The design can have spacing such that no crazing, etc. is allowed. We discussed (and parked) verbiage relating the requirement to designs that comply with 2221.
Wendy's example may indeed be unmaunfacurable to the spec (and I agree). In practice these issues are given a blind eye until there is an issue of some type then parts that were acceptable yesterday are noncompliant today. This is a bad situation for all.
I believe we should define a hard crazing allowance for product not designed to 2221 (i.e. 10 mils)- it would be neater and cleaner as well as getting the real issue back where it belongs - design.

Jack and All,
We used to say the following in 3.3.1, Edges, in IPC-6012B:
3.3.1 Edges - Nicks, crazing or haloing along the edge of the board, edge of cutouts and edges of nonplated-through holes are acceptable provided the penetration does not exceed 50% of the distance from the edge to the nearest conductor or 2.5 mm [0.0984 in], whichever is less.
Now IPC-6012C will say the following:
3.3.1 Edges - Nicks or crazing along the edge of the printed board, edge of cutouts and edges of non-plated holes are acceptable provided the penetration does not exceed 50% of the distance from the edge to the nearest conductor or 2.5 mm [0.0984 in], whichever is less. The distance between the haloing penetration and the nearest conductive feature shall not be less than the minimum lateral conductor spacing, or 100 µm [3,937 µin] if not specified.

The guideline for edge to hole is in IPC-2222, not IPC-2221
in IPC-2222 10.1.1 it says board edge or unplated hole to conductor
shall not be less than Table 6-1 of IPC-2221 plus .4mm
(and Table 6-1 is your minimum clearance based on voltage)
The MINIMUM from Table 6-1 (.05mm) plus .4mm works out to 17mils!
The discussion you remember was regarding IPC-2222 requirement
for haloing, and I'm not sure it was ever resolved, but I remember
we DID change some wording for the next revision.
You could get the new changes from John Perry for your own interest,
but of course it won't mean much until it is officially published.
And the haloing rule it won't help if your designers are disregarding the
clearance guideline, but I'm sure you know THAT (grin)
good luck!
Jack
