Afternoon All,
I'll be following this forum with interest. We're a small bare board shop &
just received our first RoHS related customer survey. My feet aren't even
wet enough to formulate a question. I knew this issue was looming out there
& that it was only a matter of time before that "flow" reached my door !!
Regards,
Mark

John,
This brown stuff is flowing hard. We are a computer company, and we
have our European customers sending us surveys asking if we have WEEE/RoHS
and the EU Packaging directives in place. We are actively working, but as an
equipment provider we MUST have documents on file for all 29 substances from
each of our suppliers, PCBs, Components, and Packaging suppliers.
You should probably be prepared to hand out the EIA Material
Declaration Sheet to your customers and fill it out even for materials you
don't use, and get the symbols for "No-PB" and WEEE "Trash Can" ready in
case you need to put it on your boards.

Subject: [LF] Declaration of Materials/Material Composition - PCB's
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?
John Parsons
