Yes it is a reject, a fracture is a fracture.  How could you assure that the fracture wouldn't continue to get worse over time?  Another thought, how can you be assured that what you see is actually the full extent of the issue?

Hi Technetters,
 
It is stated in IPC-A-610C that a fractured joint is considered defect in all classes.  Can anyone
confirm that it would be the same if the fracture is on the component side?  And why should
it be considered as defect if the joint on the secondary side is good.  Would the fracture
extend from the primary side to the secondary side?
 
Thanks in advance...
