Hi Bev, JohnB, IPC LF Listservers, http://listserv.ipc.org/scripts/wa.exe? A2=ind0604&L=leadfree&D=0&T=0&X=51A2A101E52D6FE17F&[log in to unmask]&P=1608 9 Bev, I have no idea what you are working on. Those guys/gals at RIM are tricky people. YET soldering isn't a key word to any EU Directive. The application, or product, and customer is important. If it falls under an EU directive, Lead (Pb) is a restricted material with as you noted certain exemptions and yahdah, yahdah.
