I think this is a no-brainer, but here goes... We were delivered boards in panel form from one of our suppliers. At Incoming Inspection, the panel was rejected for excessive bow (>75% for SMT) and returned the supplier. The supplier called me and said that even though the panel exceeded the bow requirement, the individual boards were acceptable. When I quoted the bow and twist requirement from IPC-6012, "Panels which contain multiple printed boards which are assembled on the panel and later separated shall be assessed in panel form." , he said yes, you measure the individual boards in the panel. I need clarification.
