You or your engineering dept should verify as to if there is something wrong
with the material and than record this as "material passed under deviation"
, if the same can be cleared.

                        I did not read anything that REQUIRES the label to
be affixed.
                        If it is in your supplier contract or on the drawing
as a
                        requirement, then they have violated that
requirement and should
                        be written up - BUT, I would write it up as a
Process Indicator
                        and disposition the material Use-As-Is.

                        My take,

                        Jan Pelchat

                Guys/Gals/and those Undecided
                Our PCB's are normally supplied to us with an ESD
susceptibility symbol label
                affixed. Note the word normally, a supplier has sent in a
batch without this
                label. QA are now bugging me to reject as a non conformance.
I think this  is
                uneccessary as the contract doesn't call it up, they  though
are insisting that
                IPC-A-610rev B  (which we ask the subbie to work to) makes
this label a
                requirement......i disagree. Anybody want to take my side
(or any QA ers want to
                close ranks).
                As always thanks in advance


                Regards
