John and Reuven,

sorry, but I kinda lost you. What are you talking about? Qualifying electronic products from RoHS point of view and adding them to a catalogue? Qualifying electronic components from RoHS point of view and adding them to a catalogue? Acting as a referee and doing qualifications per batch when asked by "members" or governments?

Thanks,
Ioan
