Verizon Supports Telcordia's Position on the RoHS Directive
New legislation known as "RoHS" (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) bans
certain chemicals and metals from some electronic manufacturing. In order to
maintain high and predictable network reliability, it is the expressed desire
of Verizon that:
· 1. Equipment manufacturers shall continue to use leaded-solder until
alternatives have demonstrated reliability suitable for the telecommunications
infrastructure, and;
· 2. Component suppliers shall continue to make available components
compatible with leaded-solder manufacturing until alternatives have
demonstrated reliability suitable for the telecommunications infrastructure.
Verizon supports the position conveyed by Telcordia in their Notice To The
Industry. Click here to view this document.
