Hello,
for the question of exemption, please read ROHS Article2 "Scope" section
1
***
Without prejudice to Article 6, this Directive shall apply to electrical
and electronic equipment falling under the categories 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and
10 set out in Annex 1A to Directive No 2002/96/EC (WEEE) and to electric
light bulbs, and luminaires in houdeholds.
***
This means, that ROHS depends only to stated categories in WEEE. As
military equipment is not stated in the Annex, they're exempted from
ROHS.

Subject: [LF] WEEE and National Security EEE
Folks: As you know, WEEE Article 2.3 exempts "equipment which is
connected with the protection of the essential interests of the security
of Member States" and military EEE. I have seen some slight
clarification of the military EEE portion but am now looking for
discussion, elaboration, interpretation of the part I show in quotes
above. I don't find anything substantial in either the WEEE/RoHS online
FAQ, DTI stuff, recently released UK regs, or the archive of this
forum...
Does anyone know of guidance in the interpretation of "essential
interests of security"?
Also, I read an opinion that said that, even if exempt from WEEE on this
grounds, one would still be subject to RoHS - ?!? I thought exemption
from WEEE explicitly resulted in exemption from RoHS. What is the truth
there?!
Thanks. jw
!! God Blesses !!
