Interesting point Sheri,
With the amount of feedback I am getting from that mail it could indeed
form the basis of a forum, the guy I am working on getting comment "up"
over the next couple of days, before we "kill" anything though I am
going to answer Allen's original points directly.

Perhaps we should investigate the creation of another forum dedicated to
the
PUSHBACK effort?
The PB forum?
- Or is that the elephant in the room?

What do ya'll say we kill this email thread? Other people have access to
this forum and IPC did not really set it up to question the logic of
government forced LF, but instead to help each other in the industry as
we stumble thru the process by distributing non-proprietary technical
knowledge to help us with implementation issues.. :<

Hello Keith,
Although the word "Reliability" is not specifically used, the RoHS
directive (2002/95/EC) does cover this aspect under Article 5
"Adaptation to scientific and technical progress".

ref you statement:
"Regarding the reliability issue, the use of lead in solder in
applications where reliability has been identified is an issue is either
exempt or is currently the subject of a request for exemption. I
understand
that these exemptions will remain in place until there is evidence that
the
alternatives are reliable."
where is this stated in the directive or SI for RoHS other than
infrastructures etc.

John,
I don't pretend to be an environmental expert but if you read the WEEE
Directive you will see that the objective of the RoHS Directive is to
remove
hazardous substances in order to enable the management of the recycling
and
recovery of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, one of the most
rapidly increasing waste streams. This will have a positive impact on
all
of
the environmental areas you quote as being impacted by change-over to
lead-free solder.
Regarding the reliability issue, the use of lead in solder in
applications
where reliability has been identified is an issue is either exempt or is
currently the subject of a request for exemption. I understand that
these
exemptions will remain in place until there is evidence that the
alternatives are reliable.
Regards
Allen

Good morning electronics industry!
For all of those people out there who cannot understand WHY we are
removing the lead in solders I have put up a web site as both a
discussion as well as an informational forum.
It makes some points and provides a feedback vehicle for those among us
who feel that it was not necessary and actually may be environmentally
detrimental.
And whether you agree with it or not please take the time to read
through it - the feedback is valued. If you like it, pass this email
along to your Colleagues.
Here is the link:

Kind regards,
John
