Read the EU Blue Book and/or look here where the term is clarified:

Subject: [LF] "put on the market"



Our company management is still struggling with the term "put on the

market".  I have seen this interpreted as " the initial action of making

a product available for the first time on the community market, with a

view to distribution or use in the community". Our product was designed

and introduced into the European market fifteen years ago, therefore is

it exempt from RoHS and WEEE?  Do the Directives refer to new products

only?  Where can I find clarification with regard to new and old product

requirements?







Sincerely,



Jim
