I know that for a decay if the strangeness changes then the decay is a weak decay because strangeness is conserved in both strong decays and electromagnetic decays. However, is it also true that if a weak decay occurs the strangeness must also change? i.e. do we have: $$\text{weak decay} \iff \Delta S\ne0$$ $$\text{or}$$ $$\text{weak decay} \Leftarrow \Delta S\ne0$$ If it is the latter, is their another necessary and sufficient condition (apart from looking at timescales) to see if a decay is weak?
