Intercomparison Results of a Gold Plated Nickel Solderability Reference Standard

The development and characterisation of a prototype solderability reference standard based on a gold‐plated nickel sample has been described previously. This material has now been tested in an intercomparison with several European laboratories. The results presented here show that a high degree of repeatability is achievable. These results substantiate earlier ones and confirm this material's applicability as a solderability reference material.
