Abstract :
A novel evaluation technique for RoHS-related hazardous substances has been developed. Using this technique, we can nondestructively find out electronic components and circuit board assemblies which contain the prohibited lead and/or cadmium. This technique enables us to evaluate the hazardous substances in these products for adapting RoHS directive with high efficiency
