Can anybody help & confirm the Humidity & Temperature Range to be maintained on SMT SHopfloor according to the IPC standard & its IPC standard number. Also the ways to compensate the humidity if its out of range; low cost / natural method.

This is very interesting question. I would think that the temp range will be defined by your machine manufacturers, not by IPC. PCB and electronic parts can handle broad temperature range. Most machines guarantee accuracy in the range (10-30)Degrees C ...and most people too.

I would think the two main issues would be:

1)humidity too low affecting static control issues. 2)humidity too high affecting moisture sensitive components.

Otherwise I agree with Evtimov, whatever equipment/personnel can handle.

For Machine's we can go with the Machine spec, but what about the SMT assembly process. There would be a defined / suggested Temp & Humidity range to get best O/P.

Your stencil printing process is probably the most critical process in SMT. The paste I'm using states the best environment is with a temperature of 20-25C and humidity of 35-60% RH. Your paste may vary. We've run down to 10-15% RH with no measurable increase in defects.
