Here is a response that was sent to me off the list and I am passing on with his permission. This matches up with Dave Coleman's comments yesterday. Jim
From: Paul Goodman [mailto:paul.good...@era.co.uk] Sent: Friday, October 29, 2004 12:11 PM To: 'jim.bac...@paxar.com' Subject: FW: Lead and RoHS Jim, John Allen passed on your email. I can answer your question. This exemption is for "lead in glass that is used as a part in an electronic component", all other lead in these components is not permitted. I guess this would cover things like glass-to-metal seals in hermetic packages and glass binders used in silver conductor pastes. If you would like any help with interpretation of the RoHS directive, advice on compliance, implementation planning or lead-free soldering, please let me know. I regularly advice manufacturers on issues related with this directive and recently spent two days in the USA providing training to US manufacturer.
