Original Abstract
Leaded solders have been widely used in the electronics industry for a long time. However, their toxicity gave rise to proposals for anti-lead legislation in the USA more than ten years ago. From this time the electronics industry worldwide has began the move to eliminate lead from its manufacturing processes. The same activity has started immediately in Japan too. Many companies,such as Fujitsu, Hitachi, Sony Matsushita, NEC and Toshiba have active Pb reduction programmes already in place since started the new century. In the Europe the main driver to lead-free appears to be proposed legislation Waste of Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE). The published second draft from 1998 was starting point for a number of companies in developing lead-free technology. From that point these companies putting in place development programmes to build the technology for lead-free soldering.
