- Grants For Profit - Are Grants Feasible Sources Of Cash In Advance?

- The Rohs Lead Free Directive And How To Comply
By: Sandra Noble | - The RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC is often referred to as the Lead-free RoHS, even though it covers five other hazardous materials. The reason for this nick-name may be the ubiquitous nature of lead in electronic equipment and the potential health hazards associated with lead contamination. As per the directive, a product has to be below a threshold limit of 1000 parts per million (ppm) of lead on a homogeneous (any single substance that cannot be separated mechanically) material basis.
