During mass soldering, it is important that all solder joints reach the minimum soldering (reflow) temperature to assure metallurgical bonding of the solder alloy and the base metals to be soldered. Metallurgical bonding requires that both surfaces to be soldered, as well as the solder, reach this minimum soldering temperature for a sufficient time to allow the wetting of the solder surfaces. This...

The lack of a uniform component traceability standard has caused an unnecessary consumption of resources (e.g., time, people, money, etc.) to track events or parts to their sources and to remedy any quality, reliability, etc., issues. Lack of a standard has also made it difficult to uniformly create and appropriately enforce the necessary contracts. This standard establishes minimum requirements...
