Todd:

This customer of yours is probably referencing old Military Soldering 
Standards such as WS6536 or Mil-S-45743 where these kind of rules existed. I 
can't reference the specific paragraphs for you because the copies of my 
specs are either long gone or packed away in storage.

My question to you would be, "What specifications have been imposed on the 
program that you are working on ?" If you are working on military hardware 
with these old specs imposed, your customer may be right. The old specs were 
very specific as to  the difference between repair and rework. Reworks were 
permitted with minimal recording of data but repairs seemingly required 
congressional approval before work could be done. If it were me I'd check 
and see where your customer is getting his requirements from.
