Dear Michael,



Regarding your statement:



>RoHS 5/6:

>We know that the exemption for lead in solder for the telecommunication

>industry will be expired in 2010 but when exactly in 2010?



Provide evidence of this, please.



Pls refer to Roland Sommer about cessation of RoHS5 at 2012 – 2014.

Subject: Re: [LF] RoHS II Update and status of RoHS 5/6 questions



RoHS 2 is ONLY a proposal right now. There is no requirement cast in stone.

It has to go through a rather extensive legislative process before the

directive is issued. So think about planning ahead but expect changes to

this proposal...there's lots of consternation about this CE requirement (and

other aspects of it). While my friends at Symphony may "expect" it to be

approved, there's a long road ahead for that to happen (and I don't know

what makes them think it will be approved as-is, either. No stakeholder

group I talk to is very pleased with it).



My suggestion: keep an eye on it. Think about what CE marking (and the other

new requirements) would mean for your company; work with your favorite trade

association (IPC, AeA, EICTA) to get ready for the stakeholder consultation

period. But don't go changing processes and products yet.



And regarding this:



>RoHS 5/6:

>We know that the exemption for lead in solder for the telecommunication

>industry will be expired in 2010 but when exactly in 2010?



Provide evidence of this, please.
