Gary,
Could not find any requirement on solder mask thickness in the IPC-6012
Rev. B specification.
The only paragraph I am aware of dealing with solder mask thickness is
the 3.7.3 which states that "solder resist thickness is not measured
unless specified in the procurement documents. If a thickness
measurement is required, instrumental methods may be used or assessment
may be made using a microsection of the parallel conductors on the E
coupon." This seems to apply for all IPC classes.
Regards,
Arnaud Grivon
