Bev and Dan,
Most items ordered by the military have specifications with it. In these specifications I would imagine they would call out soldering with tin-lead. If they buy off the shelf items (no specs) then it would probably have to be lead free.
Grayland can be a lot of fun or very dangerous.

Daan,
Ah, "grayland" (as opposed to Graceland)! If the military buys an off-the-shelf Dell, HP, etc. computer than the product is not exempt. If they buy a missile, it is exempt. Ruggedized items will be tougher (Pun intended, I'm on a roll this morning). Do they sell them specifically and only to the military? If yes, then my personal interpretation is that it is exempt. But once they sell even one to even, say the US Department of Justice, then I think all bets are off. Who decides? Ultimately? The EU courts. But do you want to go there? :)

Subject: [LF] Exemption for military products ?
Hi All,
I heard sereral times on this forum that military products are exempt
from the ROHS, which to my interpretation of the regulation is not 100%
correct: the ROHS just doesn't mention them as products for which it is
applicable.
But what if a military product also happens to be a communication
device (let's say a ruggedized cellphone or notepad computer), would
this be treated as an exempt military product, or as a product in the
category "IT and telecommunications equipment".
And who has the authority to decide on this?
Best Regards,
