HDC2010: After reflow, 30-40% RH at room temperature during a duration of several days

Part Number: HDC2010

Hi expert,

The datasheet is described about after reflow as below,

10.1.1.2 Soldering Reflow

For PCB assembly, standard reflow soldering ovens may be used. The HDC2010 uses the standard soldering profile IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 with peak temperatures at 260°C. When soldering the HDC2010, it is mandatory to use no-clean solder paste, and the paste must not be exposed to water or solvent rinses during assembly because these contaminants may affect sensor accuracy. After reflow, it is expected that the sensor will generally output a shift in relative humidity, which will reduce over time as the sensor is exposed to typical indoor ambient conditions. These conditions include 30-40% RH at room temperature during a duration of several days. Following this re-hydration procedure allows the polymer to correctly settle after reflow and return to the calibrated RH accuracy.

Is it must requirement?  (30-40% RH at room temperature during a duration of several days)

It is difficult for customers to secure this time and manage 30-40% RH during the assembly process.

Could  you please let me know the degrade when they will not do this process? Do you have any data for output shift vs time?

Thanks
