There is a tape test from IPC in their TM-650 spec that can be downloaded for free from the ipc website. It will test for gold adhesion to the underlying nickel. Section 2.4.1E, I believe. It is quite simple to perform.

There are several methods in IPC-TM-650 depending on whether you're testing for the effect of flux residues or board cleanliness. They're available for free download here: http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?PageID=4.1.0.1.1.6

Hey Dougie, If you go to IPC.ORG and click on the on-line resources and databases, then on the "free downloads" link, the second or third document "for free" is the IPC-TM-650 in its entirety. It does discuss the test you are looking for! Have fun
