Hello Technetter's,

Sometimes in life you find yourself in a pickle and wonder how the heck
you got there.  It always brings me to that famous quote "It is hard to
soar with the eagles when you work with a bunch of turkeys".

I have a question:  I am working with and "MAJOR" EMS that does not use
nitrogen with either Sn/Pb or Pb-free reflow.  In this day and age I have
never heard of this.  They have it available but will only use it if I
require it.  At a price, of course. They don't seem to take into account
it will improve their yields as well.

Is there an IPC, NEMI, or any other standard that requires/recommends N2
usage for either Sn/Pb or Pb-free reflow process?
