That is the inference from the wording and also from a non-legally
binding statement within some EU documentation, however there are those
who do not accept exeption by omission and so the european aerospace and
defence industry have formally submitted a request for confirmation of
exemption to the EU and this is at present under consideration

Subject: Re: [TN] RoHS Avionics Exemption

Kenny,

The scope of articles covered by the RoHS Directive is defined as
equipment falling into the categories set out in Annex 1A of the WEEE
Directive. That annex does not include Avionics equipment. The exemption
is thus by non-inclusion.

Subject: [TN] RoHS Avionics Exemption

The word on the street is that Avionics are exempt from the RoHS
requirements. Does anyone know where I can find the actual words that
define that exemption?

Thanks,

KennyB
