Good morning Allan and all,
It would not be difficult (although somewhat time-consuming) to keep
basic records of RoHS compliant materials and trace what materials are
used for each job. Or each lot of boards could be accompanied by what
materials were used in their manufacture, and the customer could then
verify that all materials used were RoHS compliant.
Although the EU will hold the end-mfgr responsible, the end-mfgr will
more than likely hold their suppliers responsible. Would you be willing
to risk your future business on the assumption that your customer is
responsible for what they pay you to produce? It would be unreasonable
to expect your customer(s) to test every lot of boards you produce and
would tend to be very expensive for small to medium-sized companies.
Welcome to the RoHS-ey world of electronics mfg'g.
Regards,
Roger

Subject: Re: [LF] PCB Bare Board
A topic About PCB Bare Board.
Some Board loaders, or end users are asking us ( PCB Manufacturer ) to
supplier a certificate type from all the raw material supplier
certifying that their individual raw material is RoHS compliance.
We do not agree with this approach as we understand that the PCB comply
or not, will have to be judged by mg/KG ( PPM ) methode for the 6
substance concerned.
also the correct way is : a finished bare PCB may have to be strip apart
to two parts, one ( in most cases ), Cu+SM+LF HAL, and two,
Lam+SM+Legend
Two of the parts has to be measured individually, and if only the
figure shows comply then this PCB is comply.
My Questions:
1, Does anyone has a different view on this 2, Anyone has information
about the UL - RSCS ( Restricted Substance Compliance Solutions ) ?
Thanks,
Allan Zhang
