ISO International Standard

This document specifies a method of testing for deleterious effects that can arise from flux residues after soldering or tinning test coupons. The test is applicable to type 1 and type 2 fluxes, as specified in ISO 9454-1, in solid or liquid form, or in the form of flux-cored solder wire, solder preforms or solder paste constituted with eutectic or near-eutectic tin/lead (Sn/Pb) or Sn95,5Ag3Cu0,5 or other lead-free solders as agreed between user and supplier (see ISO 9453).

This test method is also applicable to fluxes for use with lead-containing and lead-free solders. However, the soldering temperatures can be adjusted with agreement between tester and customer.
