The following definitions apply to the use of the terms lead-free, Pb-free, and RoHS
compliant:
Halogen flame retardant free (HFR-Free) PCB: In future revisionsof this
document, Intel will be providing guidance on the mechanical impact to using a HFR-
free laminate in the PCB.
Lead-free and Pb-free: Lead has not been intentionally added, but lead may still
exist as an impurity below 1000 ppm.
RoHS compliant: Lead and other materials banned in RoHS Directive are either
