Hi there  -

I have been searching for either a copy of IPC or EIA industrial standard 
on solderability of component lead, and so far have not found one..  Does 
anybody know if there is such a standard available ?

Since the quality of solder joint depends on both the solderability of 
substrate (board) and component lead, and since there is industrial 
standard such as IPC-RB-276 and IPC-SM-840 addressing the solderability of 
the board, it makes me believe there must be an industrial standard 
regarding to lead solderability exist somewhere.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
