Subject: Date Change for Teleconference on Materials Declarations
Handbook


Based on feedback we have received, the teleconference discussed below
has been rescheduled to Wed April 30 at 2 pm EST.

Please contact Fern Abrams or John Sharp with any questions
-----------------------------------------------------------------

With the shift to lead free and other impending materials bans, a
growing number of OEMS and EMS companies are requiring electronic
equipment manufacturers to complete lengthy questionnaires regarding the
presence of metals, chemicals, and other materials of concern.
Completion of these 'materials declarations' is becoming a significant
issue for electronic equipment manufacturers and is also expected to
impact suppliers to the electronic equipment industry as the need for
detailed materials information moves through the supply chain.

The IPC Environmental, Health and Safety Committee will be developing a
voluntary standard to guide IPC members in  completing materials
declarations.  

All interested parties are welcome to attend an introductory conference
call on Tuesday April 23 at 2pm EDT.    The call in number is
620-584-8200 code 8229#.  

For more information, please contact John Sharp, IPC EHS Committee Chair
at (603) 879-3753 or [log in to unmask]
