Thanks to everyone for all of your help.
Below was my "reply to the factory"
(note we are a Chinese Corporation - I am at R&D facility in Colorado - and
thus my China RoHS suggestion...)
----------------------------------------------------
Lorraine,
EG - denotes German language - also the official RoHS directive is 2002 (not
2005).
I believe we should be calling out 2002/95/EC (for English language.)
This is the ACTUAL directive
http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/pri/en/oj/dat/2003/l_037/l_03720030213en0019002
3.pdf
This mentions the 2005/95/EG - but I have no idea what it is saying.

What customer requested this reference?
I propose we call out the English translation 2002/95/EC - or even better
yet the even stricter China RoHS.

The final two letters of the directive designator vary based on which
language it is transcribed in.
English uses European Community, so the directive is 2002/95/EC
Germany uses Europäischen Gemeinschaft, so the directive number is
2002/95/EG
Etc, etc.
If you look at this link, which I had originally sent out a couple weeks
back, you can look at all the translations and see all the variations for
the final two letters.

I guess the electronics industry could declare the EC an "electronics free
zone" ........................................8-)

It's not a misprint when you can feel their regulatory paws all over you.

How about a simple misprint by someone - the directives use an EC suffix
