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?
