I thought about that. Seriously, there are grounds for a class-action
lawsuit against the EU Parliament. You see, there is this thing called
due diligence........

Have your accountants invoice the European Parliament for the cost
differential. In fact, maybe all electronics manufacturers world wide
should file a class action lawsuit for any costs directly related to
meeting their RoHS requirements. :-)

We have successfullly made the transtition, and are beginning to produce
complaint products.
And that's starting to drive the bean counters into a frenzy. Our new
PCB material spec is calling for 330Td, non-dicy, Z-Axis max, etc... and
guess what, - it costs more than the old 140Tg material. Now they want
to go back to the old material - throw out a year of research and
testing - because they ran a few boards using the old material.
The questions are - is anyone running lead free solder processes using
the old standard 140Tg, in any kind of volume, with any measurable
quality?
How do you convince them that RoHS just costs more, but it will get
cheaper eventually?
