This web page now has references to approximately 27,135 documents on lead-free electronics: As a follow-on to writing Robust Electronic Design Reference Book, Volumes I and II in 2003, in late 2004 I started seriously researching:

My plan was to write a Chapter 20.5 for my books, in the form of a web page that would be freely-available, summarizing the:

needed to manufacture RoHS-compliant electronic products-- and hopefully still have good quality, good reliability, and long lifetimes. The transition from tin/lead-based to lead-free electronics looked like it would be very painful and expensive. But I didn't think that the European Union would be so stupid as to issue legislation that would turn all electronics into crap!

In late 2012, 6 years after the RoHS Directive went into effect on July 1, 2006, manufacturers finally seemed to be approaching the quality level (good out-of-the-box) we had up through late 2005 with tin/lead-based electronics. But the reliability and longevity of RoHS-compliant electronics are still pitiful compared to what we had with tin/lead-based electronics. I've heard many stories of RoHS-compliant electronics, purchased new with 1-year warranties, that died after just 13 months of use. With a lot of searching, we sometimes can find new electronic products with 3-year manufacturers' warranties. But they are rare-- 90-day and 1-year manufacturers' warranties are much more common nowadays. And 4 out of the last 5 ADSL modems that I've gotten from the phone company all crapped out between 11 and 14 months after they were installed-- *one* lasted 25 months.

I had to change my Internet provider in October 2016. After making sure that the modem I've been using since June 21, 2016 worked with my new ISP, I bought it from my previous ISP as a used unit. And I bought two more of these (used) ADSL modems on Ebay for about $25 each. When this modem crapped out at 11-1/2 months, it took me just minutes to install a spare modem. But several critical parameters were hidden in low-level menus (and weren't documented in my notebook). So it took me a couple of hours with the old modem-- which was fully functional *except* for connecting to the Internet-- to get the spare ADSL modem working with my ISP. Basically, I had my Internet connection working again in one evening. And the very next day another one of these ADSL modems showed up on Ebay, so I bought it to get back to 2 spares for this RoHS-compliant product!

In the 16 years since I started this study in late 2004, I've:

doing research on these subjects, and collecting 27,000+ documents on lead-free electronics. My library on lead-free electronics now takes up over half of my office and has overflowed into two livingrooms, filling three bookcases and ten file cabinets with:

In this mass of material I have found tens of thousands of references to failure modes of lead-free solders, that were unknown or extremely rare in tin/lead solders:

The higher processing temperatures of lead-free solders, along with all of these new failure modes, have dramatically reduced the quality, reliability, and longevity of RoHS- compliant electronics-- produced since early 2006-- versus equivalent tin/lead- based electronics that were manufactured from about 1950 through 2005.

Based on my reading, and years of helping clients develop RoHS-compliant electronic products, I believe that: If you buy a lead-free RoHS-compliant electronic device-- and if it works when you first turn it on-- it should be safe and fully-functional for at least one year. If you are lucky, it may even last a couple of years longer... versus the 20+ years use that we can easily get out of many tin/lead-based electronic products!

For myself and my companies, in early 2005 I adopted the following version of the "Precautionary Principle", which so far has worked very well for me:

  1. Don't buy-- or fly in-- anything manufactured in Europe.
  2. Don't buy new electronic/electrical stuff, if you can find an older item (manufactured before 2006) that will do the job.
  3. If you buy a new, expensive electronic/electrical item, get the longest warranty that you can for it.
  4. If you buy a new, inexpensive electronic/electrical item, buy at least three, to give yourself a fighting chance that one of them will still work when you need it.
  5. If you are replacing an older, working unit, HANG ON TO THE OLD ONE!

Thus I have been very selective about buying any electrical or electronic stuff since year-end 2005. If I can find what I want as used, refurbished, or "new old stock" (NOS) on ebay or at a hamfest-- manufactured before 2006 (when the RoHS Directive went into effect)-- I feel comfortable just going ahead and buying it. If what I want is only available as new items, manufactured since the beginning of 2006, I do some hard thinking: Do I absolutely need this item? Will it pay for itself within the first three months that I will own it? Or do I just want the item? In many cases I'll say "Screw it. I'm not going to waste my money on lead-free crap". If I still really need the item, I will investigate various candidates based on the features/ functions/ etc. that are important to me, and sort the list by key factors to determine the desireability of each candidate. And if I discover that a candidate was designed or made in Europe, it automatically goes to the bottom of the list. Then I start working down through the list, top-to-bottom, checking for availability, sources, and prices. Once I have found three or so good candidates, I dig up all the information that I can find about them: specifications, datasheets, manuals, warranties, application notes, people's comments/ complaints about them, etc., If several candidates look like they will meet my needs, I usually make my final choice based on:

  1. A local store has the item-- so that they can take the unit out of the box in the store and prove to me that it will at least power up-- before I take it home.
  2. The longest manufacturer's warranty.

As a result, when I am considering buying some new electronic item, or something such as a car or appliance that contains electronics, I usually spend about 1 day doing research for every $100 that I expect to spend.

In July 2011 (5 years after the RoHS Directive went into effect), I made my first purchase of over $50 worth of RoHS-compliant electronics. I didn't want to, but when my 12-year old main computer monitor (a Sony Trinitron GDM-500PS) crapped out, I didn't have much choice. I first went to the public library, and checked Consumer Reports going back 3 years. Acer, Apple, Dell, Lenovo, and ViewSonic all had 2 or more wide-screen LCD monitors that were given high marks by Consumer Reports. Then I went around town, checking local stores to see which brands/models they carried. I then spent 4 days, researching some 50 models of >= 21-inch LCD monitors on the stores' and manufacturers' web sites. Comparing the features of the different models, the decisive factors for me came down to overall width, manufacturer's warranty period, and whether the monitor came with the video and monitor cables. I came down to a "short list" of 5 ViewSonic monitors, any one of which would meet my needs very well. Then I called the local stores, and found one which had several ViewSonic VX2450wm-LED monitors in stock. I bought two of them, with 3-year manufacturer's warranty, for $400 plus sales tax. It took me about an hour to get both monitors installed on my computer and working at 1920 x 1080 resolution (the primary monitor at 24-bit color and the secondary monitor at 16-bit color). So far, both monitors have been working okay for five years. But we shall see how they do long term for reliability and longevity...

Maybe 1% of the documents that I have collected on these subjects say "Lead is bad. Remove it at any cost." (I've seen estimates that complying with the RoHS Directive will cost between $40,000,000,000 and $100,000,000,000 worldwide, and will cause 5 to 6 times as much environmental damage as if it had not been enacted.) About half of the documents say "here are ways that we can try to comply with the RoHS Directive and its clones, by investing huge amounts of engineering and manufacturing time, money, and management focus." But the gist of the rest of the documents that I have collected is:

Manufacturers of lead-free/ RoHS-compliant electronics-- and their lawyers-- may want to carefully study Article 7 in the European Product Liability Directive ( Directive 85/374/EEC + Directive 1999/34/EC) which offers this defense: "The producer shall not be liable as a result of this Directive if he proves... (d) that the defect is due to compliance of the product with mandatory regulations issued by the public authorities... "

The RoHS Directive has been in place for 14 years now, and so far I haven't read about any big fires, airplane crashes, or other major disasters that have been traced to lead-free electronics. Although there is now considerable evidence pointing to tin whiskers causing some of the Sudden Unintended Accelleration (SUA) problems with Toyota vehicles....

Technology Forecasters did a study in late 2007/early 2008 for the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) on "Economic Impact of the European Union RoHS Directive on the Electronics Industry". Page 48 of this report, which came out January 21, 2008, said that in its first 1-1/2 years the RoHS Directive had cost the worldwide electronics industry $38.25 billion ($38,250,000,000), with an on-going cost of $3.7 billion ($3,700,000,000) per year!

Personally, since the RoHS Directive went into effect, I've restricted myself to buying maybe two or three pieces of new test equipment or computer stuff that costs more than $20 each per year. But I only do so if I expect the item to pay for itself within 3 months. I also treat all new electronics very tenderly, and try not to drop them onto any hard surfaces. If this new equipment is AC powered, I only plug it into a live outlet when I or someone else is around. If it is battery powered, I take out the batteries whenever the new electronic equipment is not in use. (These precautions play hell with clocks, by the way.) If the item costs less than $20, I'll probably buy three or more, to have a fighting chance that at least one unit will work when I need it.

Early in my study, I decided to pull this information together as a web page, to make it:

I figured that this should be a one-month project. But one week later I moved this bibliography into its own web page, because it was 15 pages long, and I figured it would be of interest only to really serious researchers... Well, this bibliography is now 1,961 pages long. I've spent thousands of hours searching the Internet, and joined four more technical societies to get access to their online databases. So far on this project, I've made 438 trips to 11 libraries in Kentucky, and 193 trips to 85 science/ engineering libraries in 25 other states (Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Washington) and one province (Ontario), For example, the following picture shows some 330+ papers (13,697 through 14,028) that I collected on 6 trips in three weeks to libraries in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia...

In January 2016 I became a Donovan Scholar, and started taking classes at the University of Kentucky (UK). Then UK moved the Engineering Library from Anderson Tower, making it much less convenient for me to stop in the library before/between classes. But as a UK student I have online access to the UK libraries from home. Before the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020, I would spend 4 to 8 evenings per month checking 128 to 221 magazines/ journals and the proceedings of 136 to 200 conferences/ symposiums for the latest information on:

During the COVID-19 lockdown, I've been working on my studies via the Internet, usually spending about 6 days per week on them. And in the last 9 months (mid-May 2020 to February 2021) I've found over 1,863 additional documents on tin whiskers, tin pest, and other aspects of lead-free electronics. At least this project has kept me from going stir crazy with boredom!

This bibliography now has:

I started the research in my personal and company libraries, and on the Internet with my own computer, using: When I check out a new library, in addition to searching through their collection, I like to see if they have any full-text engineering/ science databases such as: I'm still hunting for hundreds of papers and magazine articles whose titles have popped up during my searches, but that I haven't been able to find yet. If you have leads on any of these, please E-mail me at jrbarnes@iglou.com, and I will acknowledge your help at the bottom of this web page.

If a reference can be downloaded from the Internet for free, I've included a link from its title to the appropriate web page. Some web sites require you to register online before accessing some of their documents. If a book, CDROM, paper, or report is in print, I show the list price and include a link to at least one source. Even if an item is out of print, you might be able to buy it from one of the sources listed on my web page Internet Sources for Electronics Books, Standards, Manuals, Journals, and Magazines.

My web page, Designing Lead-Free, RoHS-Compliant, and WEEE-Compliant Electronics, where I started to summarize this huge mass of data, is 55 pages long-- with only 4 out of 20 sections reasonably complete. Like my books, both of these web pages are primarily aimed at electrical and electronic engineers who design and develop electronic products and electronic equipment for a living. We face more challenges than ever before:

I try to update this web page once each quarter. Please send any critiques, corrections, and pointers to additional sources to me at jrbarnes@iglou.com.


Government Regulations on Lead-Free, RoHS, and WEEE (revised 9/11/2011)

The United States (US) passed the Toxic Substances Control Act in 1976, giving the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the power to regulate the manufacturing and importing of toxic substances into the US.

The European Union has very strict laws on product liability. In general, if a person can prove that someone was killed or injured-- or their property was damaged-- by a product, the "producer" must fully compensate the injured party. Even if the producer had only a tiny fraction of the overall responsibility for the injury! Underlaying numerous Product Safety Directives (EN 60950, EN 60065, EN 61010, and EN 60601-1-2 to name just a few) is the Product Liability Directive ( 85/374/EEC), which was published in volume 28 issue L210 pages 29-33 of the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) on August 7, 1985.

This Directive was amended by Directive 1999/34/EC in volume 42 issue L141 pages 20-21 of the OJ on June 4, 1999. The consolidated text of these two Directives is available on the EUR-Lex website. One defense that the producer (manufacturer, importer, or the person whose name or trade mark is on the product) can use is in Article 7: "The producer shall not be liable as a result of this Directive if he proves... (d) that the defect is due to compliance of the product with mandatory regulations issued by the public authorities... "

Japan passed the Act on the Promotion of Effective Utilization of Resources Act No. 48 of 1991 (Japan "RoHS") in 2000.

The European Union published the End of Life Vehicles Directive (ELV Directive, 2000/53/EC) in volume 43 issue L269 pages 34-42 of the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) on October 21, 2000, and has amended it a number of times since then, This Directive took effect on July 1, 2002, and with some exceptions (Annex II), totally bans the use of (Article 4.2(a)):

in vehicles. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in the United Kingdom has gotten the impurity limits for the ELV Directive also to be applied to the RoHS Directive.

The European Union published the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive ( RoHS Directive, 2002/95/EC) in volume 46 issue L37 pages 19-23 of the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) on February 13, 2003. This Directive took effect on July 1, 2006, and with some exceptions (Annex) totally bans the use of (Article 4.1):

in electronic and electrical products and equipment.

Article 2.3 explicitly states that spare parts for the repair of electrical and electronic equipment put on the market before July 1, 2006 do not fall under the RoHS Directive. Nor does the reuse of electrical and electronic equipment put on the market before July 1, 2006. I.e., the electrical equipment is already in the European Union, and out of the manufacturer's control as of July 1, 2006. Owners of equipment acquired before this date may repair or upgrade their equipment, to extend its lifetime, instead of being forced to discard it.

Council Decision COM(2004) 606, adopted Sept. 23, 2004), amends the Annex of the RoHS Directive to permit-- in any application that was not already exempted--a homogenous material to contain a maximum of:

The RoHS Directive was amended 12 times between 2005 and 2010 by Commission Decisions, and once by a Directive, mainly adding exemptions for specific uses of these materials.

The European Union published the RoHS Recast (RoHS 2.0), Directive 2011/65/EU in volume 54 issue L174 pages 88-110 of the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) on July 1, 2011. It takes effect on January 3, 2013, and brings in:

To help manufacturers, importers, and others understand their responsibilities, risks, and liabilities under European Directives, in 2000 the European Commission published the "Guide to the Implementation of Directives Based on New Approach and Global Approach". This is commonly called the "Blue Book", or "Blue Guide", and can help you understand just how European authorities will interpret these Directives when it is unclear whether/how a Directive applies to a specific product or situation.

The DTI has published a draft of the United Kingdom's version of the RoHS Directive as "Part IV - The RoHS Directive - draft implementing Regulations."

The official version of the UK law came out as Statutory Instrument 2006 No. 1463,

The DTI has also published draft Guidance Notes for the RoHS Directive, dated July 2004.

A revised draft RoHS REGULATIONS Government Guidance Notes came out in August 2005.

The final RoHS REGULATIONS Government Guidance Notes came out in November 2005.

The DTI published the RoHS Enforcement Guidance Document, Version 1 in May 2006.

The European Union published the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive, 2002/96/EC) in volume 46 issue L37 pages 24-38 of the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) on February 13, 2003. Directive 2003/108/EC, published in volume 46 issue L345 pages 106-107 of the OJ on December 31, 2003, amends Article 9 of the WEEE Directive with regard to the financing of WEEE for businesses. The WEEE Directive:

The DTI has published a draft of the United Kingdom's version of the WEEE Directive as "Part II - The WEEE Directive - draft implementing Regulations."

The DTI has also published draft Guidance Notes for the WEEE Directive, dated July 2004. According to these Guidance Notes, producers must register with the (UK) National Clearing House by August 13, 2005 (pages 4, 20-21).

Commission Decision 2004/249/EC is a questionaire for Member States of the EU, on reporting the implementation of the WEEE Directive.

Commision Decision 2005/369/EC on rules for Member States to monitor compliance with the WEEE Directive.

The European Union also bans many flame retardants that might be used in printed circuit boards (PCB's) under the Restrictions on the Marketing and Use of Certain Dangerous Substances and Preparations Directive (Directive 76/769/EEC) which has been amended 39 times since it was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) on September 27, 1976.

The European Union published the Batteries and Accumulators Containing Certain Dangerous Substances Directive (Battery Directive, 91/157/EEC) in volume xx issue L78 pages 38-41 of the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) on March 26, 1991. Directive 98/101/EC, published in volume 42 issue L1 pages 1-2 of the OJ on January 5, 1999, clarifies the limitations on mercury in batteries. The Battery Directive permits lead-acid and nickel-cadmium batteries to be used in electrical and electronic equipment as long as they contain less than 0.0005% by weight of mercury. Button cells and batteries made from button cells are permitted to contain up to 2% mercury by weight (Article 3.1).

The European Union published the Energy-using Products (EuP) Directive (EuP Directive, 2005/32/EC) in Volume 48 issue L191 pages 29-58 of the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) on July 22, 2005. This Directive took effect on August 11, 2005. It sets up a framework for regulating products that:

A major concern is the total energy required:

The European Union published a new Batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators (new Batteries Directive, 2006/66/EC) in volume 49 issue L266 pages 1-14 of the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) on September 26, 2006. This Directive takes effect on September 26, 2009. Article 4 places limits on the mercury (Hg) and cadmium (Cd) content of batteries, but most of the Directive is concerned with collecting and recycling.

China's Ministry of Information Industry has drafted a Management Methods for the Prevention and Control of Pollutants from Electronic Information Products law, often referred to as "China RoHS ". This law also bans:

in products using electronic information technology.

Grace Lin's web site has an unofficial translation of "Administrative Measure on the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products," dated Mar. 2, 2006.

China RoHS actually consists of several interconnected laws: "Measures for Administration of the Pollution Control of Electronic Information Products," May 9, 2006.

California passed Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 in 1986. This act affects companies who:

Electrical/electronic products which are handled frequently, such as portable stereos and hair dryers, may require a warning label on units sold in California. The concern is trace amounts of listed chemicals, such as lead or cadmium, in the power cord or housing. If users handle the unit, then eat without washing their hands, they could ingest some of the chemical(s). If the total exposure to any listed chemical exceeds 0.1% of the amount that could have an "observable effect", then the manufacturer can be fined $2,500 per day per violation. Needless to say, some lawyers and law firms in California have found filing Proposition 65 lawsuits to be extremely profitable...

California adopted Senate Bill No. 20 (SB20) on September 25, 2003, banning the use of certain materials in some types of electronic equipment, and setting up a system for the collection and recycling of certain types of electronic waste.

California adopted Senate Bill No. 50 (SB50) on September 29, 2003, amending SB20 in a number of areas, but the combination is usually still referred to as "SB20". SB20 and SB50 create a number of bureaucratic hurdles and snares for anyone who sells-- or wants to sell-- video display devices with screens larger than 4 inches diagonal (with some exceptions, SB50, pages 9, 11; SB20, page 9) to consumers in California:

California Legal Council's digest of SB20, on page 6, 25214.10 says "The department shall adopt regulations ... that prohibit an electronic device from being sold or offered for sale in this state (my italics) if the electronic device is prohibited from being sold or offered for sale in the European Union ... to the extent that Directive 2002/95/EC ... prohibits that sale due to the presence of certain heavy metals". On page 13, 42474(c) says "Civil liability in an amount of up to twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) may be administratively imposed by the board against manufacturers for failure to comply with this chapter...".

California Legal Council's digest of SB50, on page 2, (3) says "The act requires each manufacturer of an electronic device who sells a covered electronic device in this state to submit an annual report to the board on the number of electronic devices sold by the manufacturer". On page 6, 25214.10.1 specifies the information that a manufacturer must suppy to retailers and the State Board of Equalization. On page 9, 42463(f) defines the "covered electronic devices". On page 10, 42463(n) defines "manufacturer". On page 11, 42463(t) defines "video display device". On pages 11 and 12, 42464.6(a) gives the Department of Toxic Substances Control the authority to determine what is, or is not, a "covered electronic device". On pages 13 and 14, 42465.2 specifies the information that the manufacturer must supply to the California Integrated Waste Management Board, consumers, and the Department of Toxic Substances Control.

For the actual implementation of SB20 and SB50, California's Health and Safety Code Section 25214.9-25214.10.2, under 25214.10(a) effectively bans lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium in "covered electronic devices" to the limits permitted by the RoHS Directive by January 1, 2007, or the effective date of the RoHS Directive, whichever comes later.

Furthermore, California's Public Resources Code Section 42463, 42463(f) defines "covered electronic device", 42463(n) defines "manufacturer", and 42463(t) defines "video display device".

California's actual regulations implementing SB20 and SB50 are in Emergency Regulations. 18660.5(23) has this snare for manufacturers-- "These catagories include, but are not limited to, (my italics) ...". 18660.41 specifies information that manufacturers must report to the California Integrated Waste Management Board, while 18660.42 specifies information that manufacturers must provide to consumers.

Washington passed Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2488 (EGHB2488) on March 29, 2004 to establish a statewide recycling system for waste electronics.

Maine adopted LD 743 (amended by HP 549) on May 14, 2003. This law bans disposal of CRT's in landfills after January 1, 2006.

In late 2005/ early 2006 Maine adopted an electronic waste law under 38 MRSA Section 1610 to establish a statewide recycling system for waste electronics.

Massachusetts, under 310 CMR 19 paragraph 19.017(3)(c), has not permitted cathode ray tubes (CRT's) to be deposited in landfills, or incinerated, since April 1, 2000.

Minnesota adopted H.F. No. 882 in 2003. This law bans disposal of CRT's in landfills after July 1, 2005.

Maryland adopted House Bill 575 on May 10, 2005. This law requires computer manufacturers that manufactured more than 1,000 computers per year, averaged over the last three years, to register with the (Maryland) Department of the Environment if they wish to sell new computers in the state after December 31, 2005. The initial registration fee is $5,000. The registration fee then drops to $500 per year if the manufacturer has implemented a "computer takeback program". Otherwise the registration fee continues at $5,000 per year. This law will expire December 31, 2010 unless it is renewed by the legislature.
