Here's a thought...

Can solderability be specified for BGA components?

How much oxidation would render a BGA unsolderable?

How would one test for solderability on BGAs?

How does one "... ensure that all components... are solderable at the start of 
hand and/or machine soldering operations." (J-STD-001B, para 5.4) for BGAs?

Any comments?
