Because the device is inside the board, the board itself acts as the device package. IPC-4556 requires tests for flexural strength and vibration. If the PCB bends, the rigid silicon die inside creates a stress concentration point. The standard defines acceptable warpage limits and bend radii to prevent die cracking.
