Our rule of thumb is that if a board is touched with a soldering iron--for
rework purposes--after test, it would be required to re-test the board. We
feel that the inability to visualy determine if the rework caused internal
damage warrants this practice.

Subject: [TN] Question on Rework


Good Morning All:
A couple of questions if you please.
Is it an accepted industry standard to electrical bareboard test PCB's which
have been dis-assemble/reworked?
Are results realiable after de-soldering and looks like damage to component
holes?
What damage can occure through removing components and the realiabily of
plating and electrical connections throughout the board?
Thanks in Advance
Frank
