I'd go for 6 or 9 depending exactly what it is. (9 keeps you out of Rohs
(for now)).
The lists are only indicative and not exhaustive.
Consumer does not mean domestic consumer.
If you don't see it written as excluded, then assume it is included.
What value do you put on being able to do business - challenge it if you
wish but weigh up the cost of not being able to sell to the EU and
having to withdraw your products.
Regards,
Chris

Dan,
Test equipment is NOT exempt unless you keep it out of Europe.

Subject: [LF] Scope question
What seems to be the general consensus on products which do not fall
within the ten categories of WEEE described in the directive.
Test equipment comes to mind. It does not fit into any one of the 10
categories. If pushed, it seems like it might fit under category 9 and
thus subject to WEE but not RoHS (yet).
Any manufacturers of this type of equipment out there looked at this
question?
Is it regulated at all?
Thanks
Dan

Hi Chris,
People have lots of strange picas. An unfortunate case (if it is real)
but
electronic insulation, however tasty, (and like electronics in general)
is not
generally considered a food stuff ... ;-)
Cheers,
Joe
