NPL has been studying the allotropic phase transformation in tin and its alloys, commonly known as tin pest, to measure the implications of adopting Pb-free solder manufacturing practices.The firm has received funding from the Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform. It seeks industry support for the work on the order of £5,200 per company for the 14-month project.
Also, NPL has developed a measurement system and test method

whisker growth. The method can help conformal coating suppliers modify coatings
to inhibit whisker initiation, growth and penetration for electronics.
