Hi Chris!  It has been suggested that the originators of the RoHS directive
be seated on the first Pbfree electronics airplane for a flight from
Brussels to New York - if the flight is successful then the directive goes
forward and if the flight isn't successful........................... . The
flurry of effort surrounding the current EU TAC Stakeholder Consultation
shows some evidence (granted, not much, but some) of some application of
science/logic on the issue. And LeadNetees please don't toast me for that
statement - I not endorsing the RoHS effort - I am just trying to survive
it with some hope of sanity and add some logic to the process.  Wow, too
much thinking way too early - now I must go find a Diet Coke!

I thought the first Pb-F airliner flights had already been fully booked
up for all Euro-MPs and Brussels bureaucrats who have brought this
"beneficial" legislation into being. It was to be a round the world trip
by way of a thank you for saving us all from lead contaminated doom.

Regards,
Chris

Hi Brian! The aerospace and aeronautic industry sectors are currently
not
exempt from the RoHS directive - the directive contains no wording
documenting such an exemption. However, as part of the current EU TAC
Stakeholder Consultation activity, an exemption (and wording for the
directive) has been proposed. Most folks agree that the RoHS directive
was
not intended for the aerospace and aeronautic industry sectors but
without
specific wording in the directive, "interpretation of intent" is not
fact.
I imagine flying on the first Pbfree electronics plane using a July 1
2006
implementation deadline would be interesting - I'll watch it from the
ground! :)

The aerospace industry is exempted from RoHS, although Airbus Industries
are attempting, as far and as fast as possible, to comply. The problem
is that most of the essential electronics comes from the USA, notably
from Boeing (ironic, isn't it?). As for WEEE, one hopes that the
electronics are recovered from crash sites :-(
