I'm sorry but not really - there just seems to be a general
understanding of this quoted paragraph meaning that batteries are dealt
with under that Directive rather than RoHS or ELV.
' This directive should apply without prejudice to Community Legislation
on
safety and health management Legislation, in particular Council
Directive
91/157/EEC of 18 March 1991 on batteries and accumulators containing
certain
dangerous substances'.
It is just an opinion. If you want official legal advice you should of
course pay the relevant experts.....!
best wishes
Kay

Kay,
Any reference to stake the claim "Batteries are outside the scope of
RoHS"? I certainly value your opinion, but the cost ramifications are
incredibly high if I make a company decision based on an opinion which
may or may not turn out to be unfounded. Please provide the basis for
your statement.
Thank you.
Best regards,

Subject: [LF] RoHS Directive
All
I keep hearing that the lead content is measured as a percentage or
ratio of
the entire product, thus allowing leaded solder to still be used once
the
RoHS is enacted if the ratio is acceptable.
I have read the RoHS directive but can find no mention of the above, can
anyone enlighten me on this please?
Secondly I was informed that the ROHS Directive does not apply to
batteries
and Accumulators,( they will be covered by the new battery directive)
but
having read the directive, I believe that the directive may apply, or
have I
misinterpreted it. Para 9 second page and also there is no mention of an
exception in the Annex
' This directive should apply without prejudice to Community Legislation
on
safety and health management Legislation, in particular Council
Directive
91/157/EEC of 18 March 1991 on batteries and accumulators containing
certain
dangerous substances'.
Thanks in advance
Keith
