I am designing a PCB which will have wires going to a front panel. It will only be produced in small numbers. The device is designed to last 10+ years, hence I want to decrease risk of wire failing at the solder joint (fatigue, lifting pads, etc.)
What is the best way of soldering wires directly to a board except using turrets? Is there some industry guideline for this?
In IPC-A-610 (standard for final electronic assemblies, IPC-A-600 is for circuit board manufacturing) I can not find any description of how one shall solder a wire directly to a PCB, it only covers jumper-wires or wires soldered to turrets (see attached image for turret) as far as I can see.
Perhaps I am missing something?

If you do not want the wire to not break at the soldering point, then do not solder! It is that easy.
Use crimped connections! Either connector, or special wire terminations designed to be soldered to PCB.
