This Standard sets out procedures for dip soldering and iron soldering to determine the solderability of metallic coatings.

This Standard sets out procedures for dip soldering and iron soldering to determine the solderability of metallic coatings. The procedure to be used is governed by the particular soldering application, and is normally specified in the relevant product Standard. The procedures are intended to assess the solderability of electroplated coatings and solder coatings that are to be subsequently joined by soldering. The determination of solderability of metallic coatings intended for the electronics industry is outside the scope of this Standard.NOTE: Where specific soldering characteristics for the electronic industry are required, reference should be made to AS 1099.1, AS 1099.2, and AS 1099.3.4, as applicable.
