To N.Cook The place that I got my research material from was Tin Technology
Ltd with a website of www.lead-free.org The person that I spoke to at that
body, pointed me to www.dti.gov.uk/sustainability/weee/index.htm I also
spoke to a Dr Goodman at ERAT Technology Ltd

That's Paul Goodman at ERA Technology. The final report is here.

There was a simpler 30 or so page interim report I've mislaid which definitely
showed indications of problems from vibration.

Whilst assembly houses may have optimised the processes, for sure it's far more
difficult for an individual to use.

I've emailed Dr Goodman again to see if the simpler report still exists. In the
meantimes this google search gave a host of results.

" ERA interim report lead-free " without the quote marks as I tried it.
