Definition of Lead Free

For several years, the industry has been working towards eliminating lead in electronics by July 1, 2006, as required under the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive. The RoHS Directive stands for “the Restriction Of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment”. But complying with RoHS is actually much more complicated, as companies are finding out. There are a lot of issues, and it’s a challenge keeping track of them all, let alone implementing industry wide and company-specific solutions.

As we know, the vital part of RoHS inspect is the lead, that is Lead-Free. So let’s take a glance at the definiation of Lead-Free.

“For the purposes of Article 5(1)(a), a maximum concentration value of 0,1 % by weight in homogeneous materials for lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) and of 0,01 % by weight in homogeneous materials for cadmium shall be tolerated.”

As the manufacturer and exporter of metal domes and metal dome arrays in China, we are dedicated to achieve that porpose. Right now, the material of metal domes and metal dome arrays has get the SGS report and are RoHS compliant.  

In next article, we will talk about the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Covered Under RoHS and other related issues.    (to be continued…)
