Chris,
 
I wrote some time an application note for our customers. (attached).
Maybe it helps you.

Betreff: Inner PCB spacing UL61010A-1 ground plane to via.
 
>From what I can see, UL61010A-1 does not have direct specifications for inner
board spacings.
Am I missing something - are there guidelines?
Section 6.7 basically falls back on surviving the voltage tests.....
All the same there has to be some practical guide on how close to allow inner
board spacing.
 
I do not worry so much layer to layer but it is the vias that drill down
through a ground plane that concern me.
That is where the imperfections may show up I figure.
If the via circuit is hazardous and requires high pot testing relative to
ground plane - how close can the ground plane get to the via?
One of my coworkers takes the Basic C&C spacing used for the circuit on the
surface of the PCB and divides it in half and uses that value with good
results.
 
Thanks

From what I can see, UL61010A-1 does not have direct specifications for inner board spacings.

Am I missing something - are there guidelines?

Section 6.7 basically falls back on surviving the voltage tests.....

All the same there has to be some practical guide on how close to allow inner board spacing.
