I agree that the wording isn't great. I think it's missing the word "made"
i.e.
it should read:
"and if MADE before 1 July 2006 they do not need to comply with RoHS regulations
and can be sold on at any time after this date"

Hi Trevor, Nic, Chris, IPC LF Listservers,

I can't follow who said what and the real situation you are dealing with.

<==I believe you wrote this as the NWML reply to your query.
<Our reply is:
EEE products are 'placed on the EU market' as soon as they leave the point
of manufacture in the EU or clear customs in the EU, as long as no further
work is performed on them of any sort and if before 1 July 2006 they do not
need to comply with RoHS regulations and can be sold on at any time after
this date.">>>


This seems reasonable except being in the US the way the ending of this
sentence is structured seems confusing.
"and if before 1 July 2006 they do not need to comply with RoHS regulations
and can be sold on at any time after this date"

Just because you have a long term contract to supply finished widgets and
even receive payments far in advance, so that your customer owns your
product in the manufacturing stage doesn't mean you can still keep shipping
SnPb products. July1 or 01July is the end date for funny stuff to be done.

It seems like you/yours are going to make your/your customer's case a place
for attorneys, or barristers to make some money off your errors.


Yours in Engineeing, Dave
