Bill,
Looking again at your images, you could say that the cracks don't actually
bridge non-common circuits since you have non-solder mask defined pads - the
crack ends before it reaches another circuit.

Bill,
I see the confusion; 610 mentions a target condition for cracks, but then
doesn't follow up with an acceptable or defect condition for cracks.
But later in the document, a solder mask scratch that bridges non-common
circuits is indicated as a defect for all classes, so I would have to say a
crack bridging non-common circuits is also a defect for all classes.

It is not clear to me from IPC 610-E if a crack in a solder mask constitutes
a Class 1 or Class 2 defect. Pictures of the typical cracks we are seeing
are at the link below. The crack in picture 3 repeats at the same feature
on every board in the array. The cracks were not visible on the bare board
and the boards passed the tape test. I'm looking for input on the
suitability of these boards.
Thanks
Bill
