Hi Pete - 
     
     There are still solderability requirements imposed on you (and most of 
     the rest of us) regardless of the demise of many military 
     specifications. Check out the individual component specifications that 
     you purchase your components against - you will find either: a) a 
     internal solderability requirement; b) a solderability requirement 
     that the specific component vendor is willing to guarantee. There are 
     still solderability specifications in use: ANSIJ-STD-002 (components), 
     ANSIJ-STD-003 (boards), and MIL-STD-202,method 208 to name three. I 
     realize that you are going to run into problems with folks thinking 
     that solderability testing is no longer a requirement because of the 
     specifications going away but remind them that we got hit with those 
     rules because of solderability problems in the first place. The 
     positive aspect of the mil spec requirements going away is now you can 
     set up a solderability test/inspection program that fits your needs 
     and type of product. Most of the component vendors are very willing to 
     work with you on setting up a system that is a win-win type of 
     situation. Good Luck.

Since just about all of the written solderability requirements been 
eliminated with the deletion of Military Specs. -
1) do you still utilize a system for controlling the solderability of your 
components?
2) if so, how?
