Thanks for sharing your work experience. I found a reference material with IPC standard (IPC 610) that specifies an exact heigth that a capacitor needs to be placed, I will check this standard specifications in more depth.

What do the heel fillets look like and what level of IPC-610 (class 1,2, or 3) are you working to? Do the joints on all 4 sides look bad or just the one side? Do other parts on the board look OK?

Lead free solder does tend to resemble cold solder joints after processing. Generally, this is acceptable. The latest IPC 610 has pictures of acceptability of lead free solder joints, which you can use to compare to the joints that you are seeing o

A solder drip like that is completely unacceptable. That could easily short two QFP leads. Very poor quality. Your customer is right to be upset. You need to pony up the money for IPC-610, agree with your customer to which level you're working (1

The IPC-610 class II spec is very reasonable. If they expect class 3 then make them pay for it....IMO

That's correct - IPC-610 doesn't tell you whether rework is allowed or not. That's a customer issue.

IPC-610 should tell you if the joint is suspect. I would tend to think they would not have any negative effect.

The package is flip chip BGA (FCBGA592) I found some info on leadless devices damages in IPC610 but it is not exactly what I am looking for.

Do you have access to an x-ray system? If so you can determine if the solder wetting to the lead along it's length meets the criteria set out in IPC-610. Pete B.

Yep....I just looked at a copy of IPC-610-G and am not 100% sure but I think it's Note 5, Table 8-16, pg. 8-96.
