     Eugenio,
     
     Since you are using Entek 106A (multi-pass OSP) you typically have a 
     shelf life of 6 months, if properly stored or less if not properly 
     stored.  SnPb finishes typically have the same shelf life as OSPs and 
     should be Nitrc Acid striped and re-HAL to remove the IMC which 
     plagues the solderability.  
     
In using OSPs you must have handling procedures in place that are different from
HAL boards.  Also investigate the method of storage.  Some OSPs will need 
re-coating after 3 months in severe environments.

Conduct some solderability tests with your OSP and identify shelf life in your 
environment.

     Dear Tech-netters,
     
     We are experiencing solderability problems with boards which are OSP 
     (Entek-plus-CU-106) coated by our supplier and have been in our 
     storage facility for just on 12 months.
     
     Does anyone know of any guidelines (published or experience-based) for 
     shelf life and protection requirements in storage of boards with this 
     type of coating ?
     
     Thanks in advance.
