  29  july  04


  Q1. What is the definition of "lead-free"? Is there an allowable threshold limit? 

  A1. This is not included in the WEEE or ROHS Directives. However, it is mentioned in the sister EOLV (End-of-life Vehicles) Directive which defines 0.1wt% as the threshold for lead per homogeneous material if not intentionally introduced (i.e. each material prior to soldering), and it is likely that the same threshold will be used for the ROHS Directive. This should be decided by mid 2004.



  for  ur  info  pls
