1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this standard is to identify the classification level of nonhermetic solid state surface mount devices (SMDs)
that are sensitive to moisture-induced stress so that they can be properly packaged, stored, and handled to avoid damage
during assembly solder reflow attachment and/or repair operations.
This standard may be used to determine what classification/preconditioning level should be used for SMD package qualification.
Passing the criteria in this test method is not sufficient by itself to provide assurance of long-term reliability.
