Nope -- we don't shelf life control roll solder here. Just threw that on the list as a possible. I don't think it would be necessary.

Is there any industry standards regarding shelf life for components? Also do they very between component type packaging? Thanks

we have a big inventory of over-shelf-life PCB, most of them are stored over 2 years. Could we ensure all these over 2 years PCB will not cause significant quality issue after assembly? and where could I find the related specification?

Shelf life numbers don't mean dip. Are the parts solderable per ANSI/J-STD-002, Solderability Tests for Component Leads, Terminations, Lugs, Terminals, and Wires? If yes, go solder the parts. If no, get better parts from your supplier.

I know the approximate shelf life for good and OK storage of ENIG and Ag boards but I do not know what these times are like for HASL. Can anyone help me out here. Thanks.

Tyco had a good read on the shelf life of tin plating and the different variables involved in determining it's shelf life. http://www.tycoelectronics.com/documentation/whitepapers/pdf/Keeping_Tin_Solderable.pdf
