This symposium will address the ongoing discussions about halogen-free technology, as defined by the elimination of brominated flame retardants (BFRs), chlorinated flame retardants (CFRs) and PVC from electronic products (BFRs/CFRs/PVC below 900ppm), and the impact this will have on the electronics manufacturing supply chain, including material availability, cost and reliability.

The symposium will feature a broad range of perspectives on this next environmental initiative from leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), original design manufacturers (ODMs), electronics manufacturing services (EMS) providers, substrate and PCB manufacturers, and materials suppliers.

Symposium goals
