Objective
The EU RHS Directive requiring removal of lead hazard from electronics production processes in Europe by 2006 is now in force and is in line with similar initiatives in Japan and the US seeking greater sustainability. The necessary lead-free soldering environmental technology exists and has-been in development for a number of years but now requires urgent research and industry coordination on a pan-European scale in order to support the transformation of European industry and improve competitiveness. Several major EU, Regional and National research projects are underway or proposed and industry implementation has already begun. However the technology is seriously lacking in integration and synergy, particularly with regard to candidate countries, and there is no coherent knowledge base. 'ELFNET - European Lead-Free Soldering Network', is a Coordination Action that will address these problems by using a new organisational model to create a network of 40key partners from across Europe. It is a 3-dimensional structure with recognised Technical Experts from each field, Industry Networks from each sector and National Networks in 19 countries. It will aim to mobilise and optimise the necessary critical mass of research and development in an industry-led initiative and provide vital technology information to each Member State.'
