Dear John:

 

Thank you very much for your speedy response. I agree with you that so far
no one got caught!

 

Now I have the other question which is about exemption. The 7th set of
exemptions is in the making (due August 10, 2007) and so far there are only
7 exemption proposals:

 

 
<http://circa.europa.eu/Public/irc/env/rohs_7/library?l=/induction-type_fluo
resce&vm=detailed&sb=Title> 1. Lead in silver rings on the exterior lamp
surface of induction-type fluorescent lamps.

 
<http://circa.europa.eu/Public/irc/env/rohs_7/library?l=/mercury_displays&vm
=detailed&sb=Title> 2. Mercury in plasma displays.

 
<http://circa.europa.eu/Public/irc/env/rohs_7/library?l=/photocells_equipmen
t&vm=detailed&sb=Title> 3. Cadmium in Photocells for accurate control of
lighting equipment.

 
<http://circa.europa.eu/Public/irc/env/rohs_7/library?l=/photo-resistors&vm=
detailed&sb=Title> 4. Cadmium-based photo-resistors used in professional
audio equipment.

 
<http://circa.europa.eu/Public/irc/env/rohs_7/library?l=/relock_fuse_x-09&vm
=detailed&sb=Title> 5. RELOCK FUSE, Model X-09.

 
<http://circa.europa.eu/Public/irc/env/rohs_7/library?l=/voltage_housings&vm
=detailed&sb=Title> 6. High voltage diodes in glass housings.

 
<http://circa.europa.eu/Public/irc/env/rohs_7/library?l=/beryllium_substrate
s&vm=detailed&sb=Title> 7. Cadmium and cadmium oxide in thick film pastes
used on beryllium oxide substrates.

 

Is this correct?

 

As always, thank you very much for your contributions and help!

Hi John,

I believe all "findings" are dealt with by warning the companies concerned
so that they "adjust" their product design.

I do not know of any general product that has been "caught" in the EU and
been made public as to the name of the company product type etc.

Kind regards,

John
