James has suggested a very pragmatic view,
And I would agree he is right, - now adding components in thiose assemblies
that are either leaded(Pb'ed), or un-leaded (non-Pb'ed) at the solder
contact would therefore be covered in the exemption too.

(c) in solde
Firstly note the exemption on leaded solder is for:
(c) in solders for network infrastructure equipment for switching,
signalling, transmission as well as network management for
telecommunication.
i.e. not for general telecom equipment which is covered by RoHS.
So moving on if you feel the exemption still applies..............
Strictly the exemption only covers the use of leaded solder, everything
else is supposed to be compliant.
However if the parts were compliant in all respects other than they had
leaded terminations which you were going to solder with leaded solder
anyway, then I can't see what the difference would be and probably hard
to tell.
If however the parts were non-compliant due to factors other than the
leaded terminations, then no they could not be used, unless of course
they are covered by another exemption.
That would be my pragmatic view of it............. let the debate begin
Regards,
Chris

Subject: [LF] RoHS and use of lead in components
Hi all,
Has anybody a view of whether or not it is permissible to use in
Telecoms
equipment, electronic components (ICs, etc.) that contain leaded solder,
given that lead in solder for Telecoms equipment is exempt from the RoHS
regulations (assuming the other exemptions for lead in solder do not
apply)?
