Subject: Re: [LF] RoHS applies to swap pool repair exchange units!


"Put On the Market" simply means any equipment - New or Refurbished. The
intent is that after July 1, 2006, all EEE entering EU markets be
lead-free technology. Using this intent will help remove all these
arguments and efforts by people who are trying to beat the RoHS and WEEE
directives. That is what I am requesting my customers to follow. It
simplifies the life of the engineering folks (includes this writer) a
lot, reduces useless arguments, saves time and gets the product out the
door.
