Lead in Automotive and Lead in Electronics

In regard to lead in electronics and lead in automotive. The ELV Directive is basically law in the European Union (actually its a directive that requires each member country to draft their own law stating the points of the directive) as is RoHS. Where the issue you dealing with comes from is the fact that the End of Life Vehicle Directive contains an exemption for lead in solder used on electronics. The RoHS Directive which applies to consumer and other electronics but not automotive does not have the blanket exemption for lead solder. Therefore you could supply connectors which contain lead in solder to the automotive market legally but not to the electronics market.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have questions.

Hi, I do IMDS every day. The concept is to build an indented part structure of the product and submit it to your customer. Yes it can be a daunting and time consuming task.

Tier 'n' loads the material and sends to the component manufacturer. The component manufacturer uses that material to create the component. Then that component is submitted to the downstream user who accept or rejects the data using the CSR, regulatory and any internal requirements as the guideline.


All the components are then added to a top level assembly to be submitted to the OEM. Once your customer accepts the MDS, you may submit PPAP.


Hope this helps
