IPC-4553A
Specification for Immersion Silver Plating for Printed Boards
This specification sets requirements based on performance criteria for the use of Immersion Silver (IAg) as a surface finish for printed circuit boards. It is intended for use by chemical suppliers, printed board manufacturers, electronics manufacturing services (EMS) companies and original equipment manufacturers (OEM). IAg is a thin immersion deposit over copper. It is a multifunctional surface finish, applicable to soldering. It may also be applicable for some press fit connections and as a contact surface. It has the potential to be suitable for aluminum wire bonding. The immersion silver protects the underlying copper from oxidation over its intended shelf life. Exposure to moisture and air contaminants, such as sulfur and chlorine, may negatively impact the useful life of the deposit. The impact can range from a slight discoloration of the deposit to the pads turning completely black. Proper packaging is a requirement. Note that, in this revision, both a single thickness range is in place and an upper limit for immersion silver thickness has been established. 36 pages. Released May 2009.

Solderability Tests for Component Leads, Terminations, Lugs, Terminals and Wires - Includes Amendment 1 - Chinese Language
This is the Chinese Language version of J-STD-002C.
This standard prescribes test methods, defect definitions, acceptance criteria and illustrations for assessing the solderability of electronic component leads, terminations, solid wires, stranded wires, lugs and tabs. This standard addresses both visual acceptance and force measurement solderability criteria for both tin-lead as well as lead-free solder processes. This standard also includes a test method for the Resistance to Dissolution/Dewetting of Metallization to verify that metallized terminations will remain intact throughout the assembly soldering processes. This standard is intended for use by both vendors and users. The Amendment 1 now included in this IPC/ECA J-STD-002C adds an appendix that defines a test protocol for wetting balance testing and also allows the use of production solder pastes of appropriate lead-based and lead free compositions for surface mount simulation testing. 63 pages. Released November 2008.

Requirements for Soldering Fluxes
This standard prescribes general requirements for the classification and characterization of fluxes for high quality solder interconnections. This standard may be used for quality control and procurement purposes. The purpose of this standard is to classify and characterize tin/lead and lead-free soldering flux materials for use in electronic metallurgical interconnections for printed circuit board assembly. Soldering flux materials include the following: liquid flux, paste flux, solder paste, solder cream, and flux-coated and flux-cored solder wires and preforms.
