Ray,
Welcome aboard.

Hopefully the first thing we can "teach" you is to ask very specific questions and to introduce you to the search function that sits on the IPC web site.  Let's deal with the second item first.

If you go to 
http://www.ipc.org/html/fsresources.htm
and pick TechNet and then use the search function there you can find a host of useful info in answers already provided to others. Its not perfect and you won't always find what you need, but we sure like it when people make the effort to do that before asking a question we have seen 30 times. 

You say you want to conduct accelerated aging tests of pcb's, but you don't say WHY!  You mention the finishes so that might lead me to believe you are concerned about solderability or ionic contamination or or or.  See what I mean?  You might also be concerned about moisture uptake (if you are buying crappy boards) or the integrity of plated through holes and vias.  The testing and standards people would suggest will of course depend on what you want to do.

So, more information, please, and then maybe we can give a specific answer.

regards,
Bev Christian

Hello Technetters,

I'm really glad to learn about you guys. And I'm thankful that there's
people lke you who like to
help, especially newbies like me.

You see, I'm kinda new in pcb reliability and don't have much knowledge
yet. So, i decided to
write you guys for some information i need.

I need to conduct accelerated aging test to our bare pcb's (hasl, enig,
immersion tin,osp finish)
but i don't have parameters to use. I hope some of you can help me with
regards to parameters and / or
test standards I could use..

Thanks.
