But until this J-STD is published I believe your interpretation of
IPC-1066 is correct.  That is the logic I have applied to our products.
No assembly will get the "No Pb" symbol until every component is
lead-free, but the bare boards get either an e1 or e2.

J-STD-609 is in final draft, and it includes codes for
PWB's.  Under this scheme, SAC finish would be
code b1, NiAu would be b4.

Subject: [LF] Marking and identification pcb


Hello,

 I'm still having a dispute with a supplier about the finishing
identification of printed circuits. It's about an immediate
identification
at incoming inspection, of which kind of external finishing is applied
on
the pcb. I mean, when I receive a bare printed circuit board I want to
understand and differentiate in my inventory PCB's having an external
finishing of NI-AU from the ones that don't (for example SnAgCu). How
can
I get this differentiation?

According to the IPC-1066 the producer has to mark with the symbols
e1,e2...
according to finishing and solder processes used. Is it right?? If not
could you help me on how to correctly apply the norms?



 Best regards
