ANSI/J-STD-001B "Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies" along with J-STD-002 "Solderability Tests for Component Leads, Terminations, Lugs, Terminals and Wires" and J-STD-003 "Solderability Tests for Printed Boards" should do the trick for you. These can be ordered from IPC Customer Service 847.509.9700. Thanks for using the TechNet.

We normally order our components and wire with requirements for solderability conforming to MIL-STD-202 Method 208. We are increasingly being told by our distributors that the industry is moving away from these types of requirements. I can hardly believe that solderability is being phased out, but is there a more current IPC or industry specification or standard for solderability. It's hard to know what the larger organizations are doing. I would appreciate any feed back on this.
