There is no actual requirement, it is more of a factual moisture absorption
effect. Polyimide absorbs water a lot faster then FR4. I don't know of much
of a problem with using FR4 up to 6 months old. After that we may recommend
prebake. This is an in-house specification, I don't know of any IPC
specification for it.
