Hello John,

The CH-65B document is more or less a handbook.  It is not a standard.  The 
table you reference was designed as a basic set of guidelines and was never 
intended as a standard for "assembly" cleanliness.  Further, method 2.3.28 
is the historical ion chromatography method and defines the process for 
extracting the sample and calculating the data. It does not call out any 
cleanliness limits for any ion species for any assembly or bare board.

Best Regards,

Joe Russeau

My 2 cents worth:

Table 6-4 of IPC-CH-65B July 2011  specifies contamination levels for 
circuit board assemblies per IPC-TM-650, 2.3.28, Ion Chromatography.
