SAN JOSE -- ROHSUSA, an industry-led effort to repeal the European ban on lead in electronics, is seeking signatories for an official exemption request for lead in solders now being considered by the European Union.
According to John Burke of ROHSUSA, more than 280 signatures have been received thus far in support of the exemption. Letters must be received by Jan. 10. A link to a sample letter is here.
BANNOCKBURN, IL – After nearly 15 years and plenty of promise but few successes, the IPC today disbanded its Government Relations committee.
The committee has been a focal point for years, having acted as the
trade group’s member liaison to its lobbying activities. It coordinated
an annual industry lobbying day, and helped to raise the industry’s
awareness – if not its influence – at the congressional level.
