Description / Abstract:
This guideline is applicable to existing lead solder production
products that will change to lead-free solder processes to meet the
ELV Directive 2000/53/EC Annex II, exemption 8B requirements. This
guideline is applicable to similar products used by multiple OEM's
that have the same manufacturing processes / equipment. The intent
is to streamline the supplier's environmental testing via common
qualification to reduce timing, quantities, and costs.
