There is no IPC specification requirement for storage of PWB, and lenght
of storage. We have done a couple of studies about storage (IPC-TR-462)
which looked at solderability over a 2 year storage condition.
Essentially this study concluded, that if you had good solderabilty to
begin with and solder coating, and relatively benign storage, you could
solder well after 2 years. I don't know how to extrapolate this to 3-4
years, but I believe the same conclusions would hold. We have also
studied the literature on steam aging of components, and have done round
robin testing on this as well.
