Ok, Henry. Thanks for the clarification. In that case you have grounds for rejection. Non-plated means no plating at all. In this case I assume the partial plating could possibly break off and cause other issues.
If I were you, and schedule permits, I would return the boards to the fabricator and make them rework the boards on their nickel.
Telling them of the problem does nothing. Making them get their wallet out works much better. Someone has to re-receive the boards, re-inspect the boards, write a non-conformance report, disposition for rework, re-inspect, re-package, and ship all over again.
But so do you.......so it might be cheaper and easier to rework them yourself. But be sure to SCAR the supplier as a minimum.

Sorry, a bit of clarification.
The drawings specify non-plated. What we are seeing is partial
plating/artifacts in the holes...not fully plated.

The 600 and 6012 simply provide specifications for what is supposed to be
there.
Your PWB fabrication drawing needs to identify plated holes and non-plated
holes.
If your fabrication drawing does in fact specify these as unplated, but
they are plated, then they do not meet the fabrication drawing and can be
rejected.
On the other hand, if the drawing does NOT identify them as being
non-plated, you don't have any basis for rejection.
Just an aside; if they are plated but were not supposed to be, why does
this cause any issues, from a functional standpoint?

Subject: [TN] Plating in non plated holes
Hey all, we have a batch of boards with what looks like electroless copper
and enig in some non- plated holes.
I know it's wrong, but I'm struggling with how I can reject them. I
can't seem to find a section in 600, or 6012 that says it's "bad".
Any ideas?
