thanks.  I thought product qual is same as process qual...jk ;-)

>>Daan,

>>In a note to section 8.3.6 in I-STD-001C, it is written that "In comparing
>>the sensitivity between methods, the solvent used to extract the residue,
>>the method used to present the solvent to the assembly and the method of
