WEEE covers just about anything electrical/electronic other than large

scale stationary industrial tools and implanted or infected medical

devices.



RoHS covers all cats from WEEE except 8 & 9.

Hi Dan, Rick, Temkin, , , IPC LF Listservers,



Gee I missed all the timely fun on this note stream.



So Test Equipment, big stuff, is not included in the WEEE

 and then not by the RoHS Directive.



Test Equipment, smaller hand held or portable like XRF,

for which Dan gets a 10 on the got y'all scale,

is also not specifically covered in the present version.



Processing Equipment is also not included.



Rick noted in his note that Airbus and Boeing, Northrup (NGC), etc

 were covered yet airplanes, automobiles, farm equipment (JohnDickey),

 tanks, , are also not specifically included.



Each of these manufacturers are looking at Pb-free because all of the

components in volume and in new development, which are coming out of

the specified list, are going LF which impacts them. Very Old and

established fasteners and connectors with HexaV Chromium may also be

going away and these manufacturers need to evaluate the substitutes for

details as simple as tighening torque or corrosion product properties.





Yours in Engineering, Dave
