Hi Forum,

Can anyone tell me what is the general industry acceptance level for
chloride contamination on a assembled board for a class 2 product please.
I am getting conflicting statements from 2 evaluation labs.
One says 6.5ug/in2 is acceptable in the industry.
Another says 3ug/in2 is the industry standard or will/should be the
industry standard.

Is there an IPC committee looking at update the acceptable levels?
Thanks in advance for all inputs, opinions and facts

Regards;
