What they mean is that for example you can't buy a PC for your catering

corps desk sergeant and claim this is military use. Any product that is

widely available for civilian use also is not specifically military

equipment and thus NOT exempt.

Subject: RE: [TN] Military Exemption from Lead-Free?



What other military equipment that we ship to the EU would not be used

for EU defense? If military equipment is sold to the EU as both military

and commercial product all that equipment is considered non-exempt from

weee and rohs.

The WEEE Directive specifically excludes equipment connected with EU

Member state security including arms and munitions. It does not exclude

ALL "military" equipment per se however - only products which are

specifically intended for military purposes. 



Now... the RoHS Directive contains no such exemption, however, it has

been assumed that the scope of RoHS=scope of WEEE unless otherwise

indicated.



So yes, there is no requirement for lead-free in military equipment for

the EU.
