Greetings

I have a question regarding the Japanese allowance of TBBPA flame retardant
material in PCB/Laminate boards.  The RoHS Directive does not require its
removal but I have not been able to determine the Japanese requirements
regarding this halogenated material.  Will Japan allow the presence of TBBPA
in their products which will obviously make the products not halogen-free.

Does anyone knows where I can find any supporting documents or directives
regarding this issue?

Thank you and best regards

M. Wasef
