Some countries have also exempted medical and telecommunications infrastructure from the requirement. When building high-reliability products, there is a reluctance to introduce changes in the manufacturing process when there is the risk failures that might not be apparent until years after delivery.

The information regarding the Tin Whiskers is very interesting; I had never heard about that.

Regarding the RoHS adoption, we had many problems in the company where I work. We source electronic boards from a handful of providers and, during the initial weeks, our return rate sky-rocketed. Some of them even tried to cheat us using lead when they shouldnt.... even now, several years after that, we still have a (moderately) greater rate of return due to soldering problems...
