Subject: [LF] IPC-1066 question: Lead content in steel and Aluminum


Experts,

I have a questions based on IPC-1066. This document says that ...



This standard shall not apply to:

* Lead as an alloying element in steel containing up to 0.35% lead by
weight, aluminum containing up to 0.4% lead by weight and as a copper
alloy
containing up to 4% lead by weight.

* Lead in electronic ceramic parts (e.g., piezoelectronic devices).



Questions:

Only electronics components are affected and not sheet metal parts used
in
building modules such as base plate which is made of steel. Am I correct
as
we do use base plate made of steel at module level? Or do we need ask
for
RoHS compliance steel and aluminum.



Re,

Ken Patel
