Hi Michael -
     Sorry for my confusion but why would someone be worried about the 
     shelf life of an "assembled" board? I assume you mean completely 
     soldered and cleaned/noclean assembly ready for use. Unless you have a 
     battery on the assembly or some issue with a specific component I 
     believe that the shelf life is nearly infinite (or until technology 
     makes it obsolete). Can you expand on some of the details of how the 
     question of shelf life for a completed assembly originated?

Are there any guidelines or specifications for the shelf life of an assembled 
board.
I would like to here the opinions of those who have addressed this issue in the 
past, in reference to unused boards to service boards.
     
 Thank You
