To define a project, a project team is formed and a call for participation is sent to all HDP Members and interested parties.  This team has the job to clearly define the problem, identify at least one potential solution, lay out the tasks, divide up the work, locate the resources, and provide “peer review” to help insure the activity is technically sound. The final plan is then submitted to the HDP User Group Board of Directors for approval to move into the Implementation Stage. 

Access to Definition Projects is open to all parties, including non-members.

For more information or to participate in following projects that are in the Definition Stage, contact the HDP User Group facilitator:

The objective of the project is to:

• Identify the key design / manufacturability issues
• Issue guidelines on PWB layout for BMPS
• Guidelines for automated handling of BMPS

The project is aimed at:

• Assembling a comprehensive Halogen-free Guideline. The guideline will contain best practices and user experience with Halogen Free PWBs, Components, and Materials.
• Assembling a Halogen-free Product database allowing suppliers to display their Halogen-free product offerings and the properties of those offerings in a uniform concise format. The database will be kept updated over time by the suppliers.
