rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Delegated Directive<\/strong> amending <strong>Directive 2011\/65\/EU (RoHS)<\/strong><\/a>. This update concerns the use of <strong>lead in high-temperature solders<\/strong>\u2014a critical topic for manufacturers of electronic components.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Are High-Temperature Lead Solders?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These are solder alloys containing <strong>at least 85% lead<\/strong>, used in demanding environments such as high temperatures, vibrations, or hermetically sealed components. They offer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High melting points (&gt;\u202f260\u202f\u00b0C)<\/li>\n<li>Excellent thermal and electrical conductivity<\/li>\n<li>Corrosion resistance and ductility<\/li>\n<li>Reliable wetting and oxidation behavior<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why a New Regulation?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The previous exemption <strong>7a<\/strong> had remained unchanged since 2003 and was often <strong>applied broadly<\/strong>, even when not technically necessary. The new directive introduces:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Seven specific sub-entries (7a I to VII)<\/strong> for clearly defined use cases<\/li>\n<li>Unified<strong> expiry date for exemptions 7a I to VII: December 31, 2027<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>A <strong>short-term extension of the old 7a exemption until June 30, 2027<\/strong> for transition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Overview of the New Sub-Entries<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The directive distinguishes the following application areas:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Internal contact connections<\/strong> in semiconductor assemblies<\/li>\n<li><strong>Integrated connections for chip mounting<\/strong>, meeting specific technical criteria<\/li>\n<li><strong>First-stage soldering<\/strong> to prevent mixing with secondary solder<\/li>\n<li><strong>Second-stage soldering<\/strong> (e.g., BGA packages, high-temp molding)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hermetic sealing materials<\/strong> between ceramic and metal<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lamp connections<\/strong> for IR heaters, ovens, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Audio converters<\/strong> operating above 200\u202f\u00b0C<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Technical Evaluation and Stakeholder Consultation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Two studies (2022 and 2024) and public consultations revealed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Many sectors <strong>lack reliable lead-free alternatives<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Progress in audio technology<\/strong> is promising<\/li>\n<li>A <strong>blanket exemption<\/strong> is no longer appropriate<\/li>\n<li>The new structure enables <strong>targeted assessments and innovation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Does This Mean for Companies?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Material compliance officers<\/strong> must verify whether their products fall under the new sub-entries<\/li>\n<li><strong>SCIP reporting<\/strong> remains mandatory<\/li>\n<li>Companies should prepare <strong>renewal applications<\/strong> well in advance\u2014at least <strong>18 months before expiration<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The new directive brings <strong>transparency and differentiation<\/strong> to the use of lead in high-temperature solders. It encourages innovation, protects health and the environment, and provides the industry with <strong>planning certainty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Do you or your employees need training on the RoHS Directive?
