Hi Techies
I just presented a paper at Midwest entitled "Look-out SIR". I tried to address what is a pass and a fail.....If you want a copy, let me know off-line

Keep in mind that the J-STD-004 B version is now calling out the new SIR method 2.6.3.7, which is continuous monitoring (every 20 minutes). The old 2.6.3.3 method had only five measurement sets taken and only two counted towards passing the test (96 and 168 hours). With the new method more measurements are taken and require more data evaluation. That said, the IPC SIR TG has agreed that when method 2.6.3.7 is used a 24-hour grace period should be given before any data starts to count due to the boards acclimating to the test conditions. The same comments have also been made by flux TG about a 24-hour grace period. I always give a 24-hour grace period when performing per J-STD-004, unless I don't see any sort of recovery in the SIR results after 24-hours. If they maintain below the pass limit after 24-hours, then I spend the time visually inspecting for a root cause.

>> In GR-78-CORE, Issue 1, 1997, SIR Test Procedure 13.1.3.2 R13-6 [808], it states (capitalization mine) "The average insulation resistance (megohms), for EACH SAMPLE GROUP, taken at 24 hours and again at 4 days, shall be greater than the minimum specified in table 13-4.

>> 2) For the IPC method does the criteria apply to the readings at the end of the test? First and last? At every measurement? The document seems vague to me.
