Graham,
That is exactly what I am looking for. Where can I get a copy of the
draft/standard?

Hi Techies

As a follow-up to Richard's question, you might note that I have  
presented a "Solder Paste Process Test" that is a modified version of  
the 5 IPC-TM-650 methods examining: Slump, Solder Balling, Spreading,  
Tack and Wetting plus a new "Open Time" method. These can all be run  
within an hour to verify the paste is fit for use.

The original document is a SMART Standard that is now in with IPC  
Committee for consideration.

If anyone wants some more information, let me know directly.

Regards

Graham Naisbitt
