Inolux LEDs: MSL Level Discrepancies?

Inolux is a focused supplier offering a variety of LED solutions in many different form factors. We’ve had some questions recently concerning the MSL value for these products, all of which are higher (worse) than they were a few months ago. Is this an error? What gives?

Inolux has recently changed how they handle MSL for their devices, as laid out in this PCN. All parts are considered MSL 3 by default unless specifically called out otherwise in their datasheets, and Inolux has doubled the recommended bake time for products that require baking. These changes aren’t considered a significant change, and are more a clarification of how Inolux’s products already worked.
