About 2 years ago, we looked into J-STD-001 as a replacement for
MIL-STD-2000 as a company workmanship document.  We questioned all of our
component suppliers whether or not they would certify to J-STD-002.  Most
said that they would, some said that it would cost $.  The biggest concern
that we had with 001 was para 5.4, Solderability Maintenance, which states
"the manufacturer must ensure that all components, parts, leads, wiring,
terminals and printed boards... are solderable at the start of hand and/or
machine soldering operations."  I don't know how to do this except to
perform solderability testing prior to assembly.  Any comments?

        Hi all ya'll!

        This is a question about complying with J-STD-001 solderability
testing. Do
        any of you have your vendors certify that the components and PCB's
that you
        buy from them comply with the solderabilty requirements spelled out
in the
        -002 and -003, in lieu of performing the tests yourself? If so, does
that
        drive the cost up on these items?

        Just curious...
