Good day TechNet
We are a late arrival to the lead-free party, as our customers thus far 
are exempt.  But a couple of them see the writing on the wall and are 
moving toward RoHS compliance.  Which leads me to two questions with 
regards to our testing of parts to ensure compliance.

The first question - what XRF?  We are concerned with price given that 
we are dipping our feet here, does anyone have a recommendation for a 
good but inexpensive unit?

Second question is concerning alternative test methods, a customer is 
planning to use 3M LeadCheck swabs (LC-8S10C) to ensure no lead.  Given 
that the product is described as for use on painted surfaces I don't 
think this is intended as a way to verify lead-free status on 
electronics.  Any comments on this?

Thanks!
