Thanks very much to all who responded
I think i can now be quite confident accepting the boards, supplier confirms they have been handled in an acceptable manner. Only mistake seems to be the absence of the label. I agree with the interpretation of IPC-610 (which does not make it a requirement to affix a warning label). Point about contract etc is also valid, as is George Franck's "If you can't tell your suppliers what you want, don't be surprised when you
don't get it.". My problem is being to far down the food chain to have a say in matters such as this. Trying very hard to swim upstream, but what a current!!!
Your help as always moves me forward
