Phil,

Hans and Genny have mentioned some great ideas.  The only thing I see
missing is consideration for the solder used.  Are you using a flux
cored solder or solid solder?  If there is a flux core in the solder you
will want to use the same identification system on the solder that you
use on your flux.

We have already been burned by this problem.

Hello Technetters

I need help. Currently I have only RMA fluxes in wave soldering and hand
soldering. We are planning to use type QA for a new customer.  I am
concerned about what kind of controls I should have in place so the
right
flux is used only on the assemblies that it is intended.

Thanks in advance.
Phil Belliveau
