iNEMI Members Back RoHS Parts Numbering

iNEMI, the International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative, announced that most of its OEM and EMS members support the use of unique part numbers for RoHS-compliant components. The consortium took the position that demonstrating and certifying compliance will be complicated further by the industry's design and manufacturing supply chains, as well as the incompatibility between current tin/lead and RoHS-compliant lead-free manufacturing processes. It is important that the industry develop a way to differentiate between these products across all companies involved. Source: SMT
