Subject: [LF] What, exactly, is a Monitoring and Control Instrument



I've read an email from (a very large electronic manufacturer) that

basically said that most or all equipment built by Video Security and

Monitored Security manufacturers is exempt (for now) from following the

RoHS directive due to Article 2(1).

 

The claim is that the entire CCTV and industrial / home security market

is not required to meet the 1 July 2006 deadline.

 

 

The Scope of the RoHS directive is given in Article 2(1), and refers to

all categories listed in WEEE directive EXCEPT for Annex 1A Categories 8

& 9.

 

From my reading in WEEE Annex 1B - Monitoring & Control Instruments seem

to be home or industrial appliances that could be a danger to the safety

of life or property if not monitored or controlled in real-time.    

 

I haven't seen anyone address this - anyone have ideas or

interpretations on this?  Has anyone else heard of this?

 

 

     Thanks,

     Mark
