NIPP-NPP Pb-Free Working Group
NIPP-NPP PWG

The NIPP-NPP Pb-free Working Group (NIPP-NPP PWG) proposes, develops, and recommends Standards and Technical Reports relating to the use of lead or the restriction of lead in solder used in the manufacturing of telecommunications network equipment. In addition, the group recommends positions on matters, within its scope of expertise, under consideration by other national, regional and international standards development organizations.

The subjects of the NIPP-NPP Pb-free Working Group’s Standards and Technical Reports include, but are not limited to, the use and restriction, stress tolerance, and the environmental impact of lead; as well as the use of alternative materials and methodologies. The subjects also include the mechanical design and layout of telecommunications network equipment printed circuit assemblies and the components that are used in their construction.
