Paul, What does your product warranty state???? What are your customers expecting? What are your competitors doing?
I am not aware that there is any statutory legislation in the U.S. for general consumer/commercial markets. For medical devices and equipment, there is (or used to be) something called Good Manufacturing Practices.

I'm thinking of length of soak and if its required by law. Our quality manager is looking reduce the amount of time of soak testing (possibly drop it all together)as failures are non-existent, Design authority on the other hand wants to keep it, ideally to reduce failures in the field (but we hardly ever get any). Strikes me as bit of a viscous circle, I can see (and appreciate) both sides of the argument, what I need is confirmation of requirements (if any), so we can decide what way we should proceed.
