Hi leaders As I'm absolute sure there are good technical leadfree solutions and I'm nearly absolute sure leadfree is a must (2004, by law) I'm looking for a practical cookbook: do you guys and gals know (means also short) good stuff about the mateial/process management during the transition-age (+/-2004 to ~2007)? During the transition leadfree as well as lead will exists together wth al implications: the handling of old (containing lead) and new (leadfree) products during manufacturing (some subcontractors at the chain would work already leadfree, others not) and during repair-service (mix of older and newer field-repairs)?
