The present invention relates to: a washing solution for a
tin plating film, which can be used for washing in advance of the washing with water after electroless
tin plating; and a method for forming a
tin plating layer, which includes a step of washing with the washing solution. The washing solution according to the present invention is an acidic
aqueous solution containing an acid, a complexing agent, a stabilizer and a
chloride ion. The washing solution contains the
chloride ion at a concentration of 2% by weight or more, and also contains tin at a concentration of 0.5% by weight or less. The washing solution according to the present invention has good washing performance against the surface of a
tin plating film, can maintain the properties of the
tin plating film readily, has a small influence on the surface of the plating film even when used continuously, and has excellent long-term stability.
