So I realize this or a related question comes up each year on  Technet and likely  this has come up at committee meetings but here it goes again:

1.      While IPC WP-21 indicates that the QPL will not update to "new Technology"  (IE., UT & SC) it is still active for the original classes (AR, UR, SR, etc), CORRECT?
      (With the ability to qualify new products to those previous/historical coating classes)

2.      For IPC CC 830 about the only choice one has to confirm that a coating meets the requirements of CC830  is to get a copy of the test report & data from the manufacturer CORRECT?
      OTHER than running the testing yourself correct.
       (I seem to recall a failed attempt ~5 years ago by the IPC to create their own CC830 classification list and service. If memory serves me correctly,  that idea was received with "pitchforks, buckets of hot tar and burning torches"  and died a quick death).

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
