Hi Paul, Chris, KayN, UK, DE, US, , IPC LF Listservers,
<What i find amazing is that the exemption report will come out in July,
after the RoHS compliance date. So that means if you've applied for an
exemption you have effectively 'unofficially' gained a stay of execution
whether its granted or not.>
<
<We'd all like 6 months more, but the majority of blue-chip companies have
worked very hard to get to July only to find that there are a number of
other less scrupulous companies who have taken the option to just look for
excuses.>
Paul, I am reading the pdf file right now. I know these agreements are
taking FAR too long as July 2006 is just a few months away. These delays
put companies in a bad way as they engineer, or don't engineer to manage
RoHS. These EU agreements should have been done last Fall, YET if you
remember back awhile ago (a year plus) the EU-P and those ministers were
being a pain and wanted to shut down all exemptions. SO we are making
progress even if it is LATE.
HEY Paul, Like a normal engineering project. LATE LATE
(Remember most managers usually provide the delaying function
(in most engineering projects. Some don't yet they are special
BTW, I don't think all are being less scrupulous if they wish to provide
products with the same function, form, fit, reliability, life, and safety.
And some of the big companies "the blue chips" want some of these
exemptions.
Yours in Engineering, Dave

P.S. Hey Thanks for the rant, I like to do this myself.
