Objective Evidence through SIR tests
Definition and implementation
The removal of the "1.56 µg/cm2 NaCl equivalent" limit from IPC J-STD-001H requires the demonstration by "Objective Evidence" that the process materials used are electrically safe.
To assist you with this issue, we will address the following topics:
- Why was the old 1.56 µg/cm2 NaCl equivalent limit removed?
- What is meant by "Objective Evidence"?
- How can objective evidence be obtained by SIR tests?
- test laboratory vs. in-house-testing

Basics for soft soldering in electronics
- small history of soldering technology
- basics of joining technology soldering
- alloys – some technical properties
- possible optimisations
- available alloys
