So you're saying we'll have to have sparing partners.

These are all, IMHO, different to conformal coatings and have correspondingly different protective demands. I would be a willing supporter of the TG. Component Cleanliness I wonder if this might be better handled through solderability testing as required through J-STD002 and 003? Surely such surface issues would affect solderability/wetting, so it might be an easier and more accurate method that could be defined through RR testing. I would be a willing supporter of the TG.
