About Pb-Free Electronics Risk Management (PERM) Council:
(http://www.ipc.org/ContentPage.aspx?pageid=PERM-Council/ http://www.ipc.org/ContentPage.aspx?pageid=PERM-Council-Roster)
IPC’s PERM council is an organization of mission critical electronics manufacturers, whose product is currently outside the scope of the EU RoHS directive, tasked with identifying risks of regulatory driven material changes in their products and promoting research to address them.
The goal of PERM is to provide overarching leadership and coordination of government and industry Pb-free electronics risk management activities to leverage the commercial supply chain for the aerospace, defense and high performance electronics communities.
