Hi all,

I was talking about PCB solder sample which I am getting with every lot of
PCBs. Someone mentioned that it's for solderability test then I have these
basic questions -
1) Whose responsibility is to do the solderability test, fab house or
assembly house. Assembly house do not want to do solderability test as
they thinks that they should be getting solderable PCBs. And not being
turn-key supplier, my assembly house resist from doing solderability
test.

2) Why one should do solderability test and how often?

3) Is IPC recommend PCB solderability test to be done prior to assembly
process?
