Subject: Re: [LF] Repair of RoHS-compliant equipment
It has been my understanding that leaded solder ONLY is exempt for the
repair of equipment put on the market before 1 July 2006. In other
words, parts used to repair legislated equipment put on the market after
this date will need to be lead-free. I don't believe this is explicitly
stated, but it seems to be the case since ONLY the exemption for
repairing pre-RoHS equipment IS explicitly stated.
Can other shed some light on this?
Regards,
David

Hi Chris, Gordon, David, , , IPC LF Listservers,
Chris I think I understand your note, yet I don't know why DTI has given
this position.
<When we have raised this point with the DTi there is no mandatory
requirement to repair RoHS compliant product with RoHS compliant
materials.
<
However you need to consider your own scenarios and also consider the
WEEE directive, one aim of which, maybe indirect, is to keep product out
of the waste stream for as long as possible.>
Since "Put on the Market" is used as a phrase in the legislation and
products, sub systems, and systems will be labelled as Lead Free or NOT
how do you take a Lead Free labelled system and make it a mixture of non
LF components. Repairing a SnPb product with SnPb I understand.
Let's take a Clothes Washing Machine (in the US we call it that) and
make it a Lead Free machine. Then a service man/oman comes and repairs
it with a fully leaded Motor or a SnPb Control Unit. The machine is top
labelled or thought by the consumer and the recycling facility to be
lead free so when it is trashed it is trashed as Lead Free. As you can
see this makes no common sense unless they are instructed to disfigure
any LF labeling or dating.
Yours in Engineering, Dave
