The CLAW ACoP states that fuming should be insignificant below 500ºC

We use leaded solder with rosin flux at a temperature of 320 degrees C at this temperature fumes are produced, these are then removed by local extraction. If you are soldering with leaded solder with rosin flux then suitable extraction should be provided and employees should undergo medical surveillance. Are you soldering or using it for another process?
regards

Don't forget any flux present will come off well before these temperatures, most flux's contain nastys and are to be avoided - lev etc

There should be material safety data sheets available for these products to help identify potential hazards. These should help.

Thanks to everyone. We are soldering with leaded solder (colophony-free), use LEV (all in date) etc. I wanted to know the temperature to ensure we keep soldering iron tip temperatures below the level to help reduce fuming.
Cheers,
Joe
