Hi Roger, and All

The problem is The PB is not 0, they are there, individually( like all the
parts ) , they are OK and below the Limit of 1000 ppm,

Collectively, them may be below the limit, or maybe NOT, so, I'm afraid that
the 0+0+0+0 situation does not exist here. like Lead Free HAL,
It does contain Lead, so it is depends on the HAL area, the more, it will
carry more Lead.

SGS told me that they are performing a test for a complete TV Set from a TV
manufacturer. which cost 15,000 US$ to certify the entire TV set ( end
product) .
Which tells me that the individual compliance certificate is not enough for
them, otherwise, they would never need to perform that expensive test.

We will need to be in a position that each supplier is doing the right
thing, then this will ensure the end- manufacturing have a good chance to
have RoHS comply product. although it is not always

Regards,
Allan

Allan,
A similar situation faces all assemblers of electronic product, that
each component, along with solder, coating, adhesive, screws and
machined parts, all come together to make an assembly that must pass
RoHS requirements.  As long as the mfgr/assembler can document and/or
verify that each component and process is RoHS compliant, then the end
product would be acceptable.
Example, if none of the materials used contain Pb, and no process
contains Pb, why would you then test for Pb and expect to find any
appreciable amount?  (0+0+0+0>0?)
So if each raw material is in compliance as well as mfg'g process, then
the board would be acceptable.
If you wanted to qualify each type of board you build, that might be an
added bonus, but not necessarily added value.
Good to see you are concerned about providing the best product to your
customer.

Regards,
Roger

Hi Shawn,  & All,

1, We do supply certificate to the customers for RoHS compliance
product, but it is based on the third party testing report on that
specific part no.

2, The test reports from the raw material vendo normally indicates :
None - Detection  for those where we need to know the PPM is, It appears
fine for that single raw material, however, when the board is finished,
we will have more or less around more than 4 type of raw materials on
the board.  If  4 x None - detection still = none detection ?

My point is, we can assume that each raw material is comply, however, do
we want to take the risk by assuming the bare board is hence comply too
?

I think some kind of Goldern Sample for each type of boards is what we
need to look at,  as we don't want to test every part no, but, if we can
get the extream type certified, then we are safe.

Allan
