I was going to ask the same question. As was mentioned, it depends on the classification of product. If it's IPC Class 3, with a requirement for high reliability, I'd want the OEM manufacturer to have a defined statement on this issue for more that

Why would a board failure related problem be a process problem. I agree most companies believe EVERY problem is a Proces Problem, but in the real world we know this is not true. A pad lifting means your solder joint was able to rip it off the boa
