The answer to your first question is yes, 3 times.
I do not know if IPC has a spec for compliant pins.  However, Mil specs do cover this. Mil-a-28870 for Nafi pins(M28859) and mil-std-2166 for others.

Fellow TechNetters:

   Can some one share their experience with compliance pin technology?
Is it permissible to insert a compliance pin in a barrel with a HASL
process?
Does IPC have any documentation with regards to compliance pins
technology?

Victor,
