I suggest that you look at the UK NWML website section on due diligence
which is a defence under UK law.

http://www.rohs.gov.uk/content.aspx?id=7

"The form of wording for this type of defence generally requires a
business or person to:

have taken all reasonable steps or precautions and 
have exercised all due diligence to avoid committing the offence"

Subject: [LF] Leadfree assembly contaminated?

Our CM placed and reflowed an IC with SnPb leads on a leadfree assembly.
Then they removed it and replaced it with the leadfree part.

  Is this assembly contaminated with Pb to a level that would be a
failure under RoHS?  We have several boards in limbo.
  Does anyone know of a lab capable of determining this, in Canada?
