Dan,
Yes I stand corrected RoHS is single market, WEEE is not single market -
apologies.
Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,
I believe RoHS is single market.
I do know it is passed under different rules than WEEE and the
requirements
cannot be modified by the states like the WEEE.

Chris,
Both the WEEE and RoHS directives whilst being pan European directives
are not single market directives. This means they have to be implemented
to the minimum levels required by the directive by national member state
legislation but this may include additional requirements.
Thus there can be no such thing as EU Guidance - each member state will
have their own guidance for their own implementation.
The UK guidance documentation can be found at the DTi website:

Chris

Subject: [LF] Pb-free definition (and partial response to G Anderson)
As a newcomer to the electronics industry, my knowledge is pretty
limited, but I think I have a firm grasp on the basics. First, to
answer Greg, I think it would be economically and practically unfeasible
to strip the leads of components of the lead coating and reapply an
"approved" material to the stripped lead. However, like I said, I am a
newcomer, so any information to the contrary would be appreciated.
Now, as to my question, I was wondering whether or not the EU has
adopted the Guidance Document drafted, I believe, in mid-June, stating
that "a maximum concentration value of 0.1% by weight in homogenous
materials... shall be tolerated." The GD goes on to define homogenous
materials as any material that can not be mechanically disjointed, in
principle, by mechanical actions (unscrewing, cutting, etc.). Any word
on whether this is actually part of the RoHS directive now? If so, what
exactly does the "in principle" clause mean? Does that mean practical?
If so, then components shouldn't apply as it is impractical to
mechanically disjoint them.
Thoughts? Comments? Thanks!
