Hey Rick are there two symbols, or are you referring to the wheelie bin as
the No-Pb?

John,
This brown stuff is flowing hard. We are a computer company, and we have our
European customers sending us surveys asking if we have WEEE/RoHS and the EU
Packaging directives in place. We are actively working, but as an equipment
provider we MUST have documents on file for all 29 substances from each of
our suppliers, PCBs, Components, and Packaging suppliers.
You should probably be prepared to hand out the EIA Material Declaration
Sheet to your customers and fill it out even for materials you don’t use,
and get the symbols for "No-PB" and WEEE "Trash Can" ready in case you need
to put it on your boards.

Hi all,
If this has been discussed in length before my apologies and I will do a
more exhaustive search of the archives than I have to date.
We are a PCB fabricator and yesterday I had a request from a customer,
prompted by a directive from their customer (that brown stuff does flow
downhill doesn’t it ☺ ) to provide a material composition breakdown for the
PCB's we supply them. He suggested that I reference similar documentation
provided by TI for their component products. The TI documentation (and I
suspect this is in line with what other component manufacturers would
provide) lists both ppm and amount by weight for what they categorize as;
- RoHS Restricted Substances (Pb,Hg,Cr6+,PBB's,PBDE's,Cd
- Green Reportable Substances (Sb,Br(non-RoHS)
- Recyclable Metals (Mg,Ni,Cu,Pd,Ag,Au)
So what about it? Are other PCB fabricators being asked to provide this
info? If so, what are you doing about it?
