Within the USA I'm pretty sure that the limits are set by the state.

I know that limits exist in China also. Not sure if they are set by the
province or by China itself.

Subject: [TN] VOC free legislation for fluxes

Hi to all,
Can someone point me in the direction of any legislation that
relates to the use of flux and future requirements to use VOC
free flux.

With respect to RoHS or any other specific legislation (such as
1999/13/EC),
will it likely become a requirement (at sometime in the future) to use
a VOC free flux and will they ban IPA solvent based fluxes.??

Any info will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Douglas I McCall
