Primarily NEMI and IPC in the United States and Soldertec and Smartgroup in Europe. NEMI, which develops technology “roadmaps” for the electronics industry, identified a gap in the manufacturing infrastructure necessary for conversion to lead free in the early 1990’s when the first WEEE draft appeared. Since then NEMI has been instrumental in providing leadership and coordination to facilitate the conversion to lead-free. NIST has done extensive research on the material properties of lead-free solders.
