Leo,

As far as I'm aware, medical devices aren't even mentioned in RoHS.

In the WEEE directive,  medical devices are covered in ANNEX IB, item #8
(on page 13). Seems to cover just about any medical device with the
exception of "implanted & infected products"

Good morning, I'm looking for information or directions to get
information the medical exemption requirements in RoHS.

Medical products as references as an exemption in RoHS. If this is true,
what products fall under that exemption and also what materials fall
under that exemption?

Under WEEE there is no recycling of implanted or infected products as
these are exempt. WEEE also recycles medical products.

I need a pointer to what the RoHS exemption are.

Can anyone help.

Thanks,
