Exemption Request for the Use of Lead in Solders Has Been Accepted
December 12, 2006 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
John Burke has done something so remarkable and so exciting that it deserves to be emblazoned across the world electronic industry skies, for all to see and all to participate, if they wish.
The link below goes directly to the EU's Environmental Commission to voice support for exempting electronics from the lead ban of RoHS.

As you may know my exemption request for the use of lead in solders in electronics has been accepted for public support / stakeholder discussion by the EU and can be found as item 15 on the EU public exemptions stakeholder discussion web site here: http://tinyurl.com/y3p2dc
I have prepared a support letter for the lead in solders exemption request that RoHSUSA submitted to the EU on behalf of concerned environmentalists in the electronics industry.
You can support the exemption request by clicking on this link and following the instructions on that web page: http://tinyurl.com/y3p2dc
I have studied the EU system and I can tell you that to support the request for lead in solders is going to take you precisely 2 minutes and will be officially accepted by the EU as a support document, just follow the instructions. And please cc me on the support so I can keep track.
Note that this instruction set is also now linked directly from the banner on the home page of the RoHSUSA.com web site.
My aim is to get 1000 letters of support into the EU by the January 10 deadline.
I have done my best to get this issue highlighted, I am now relying on you. If you want to be heard click the link above and follow the instructions.
If you have colleagues that would be interested in supporting a lead in solders exemption request please forward this article to them.
Have a great weekend wherever in the world you may be.
