I would like to ask the group and Gary a general question regarding the IPC-A-610 specification. When two party's both certified on the specification disagree on it's interpretation resulting in excessive yield problems what do you do? Is there a method or process of determining if one party is under or over stepping the bounds of the specification. Does IPC have mediators "gurus" that we could turn to for direction in resolving issues? Specifically the issues we are having are of an aesthetic nature such as problems with fingerprints, cloth fibers from gloves and small solder balls. I would also would like to know the costs of such a service and if it is available in the metro Phoenix Arizona area.
