Jerry,
Short answer: get new suppliers.
Longer answer: you pay to have the RoHS testing done
Even longer answer: you get them to pay for the testing on threat of not
doing business with them any more

Oh and by the way, according to what was the British department of trade and
industry told me (I think they changed the name to something with the new
initials BER), collecting CoCs is NOT enough to show "due diligence" (a term
I HATE).  When I asked them how much testing was required to show "due
diligence" the answer I got, wait for it (and this is a direct quote): "The
courts will decide."  Yeah, right. I want my company to be the guinea pig to
find out the answer to THAT question!  So, our suppliers are either
providing the lab tests to back up their CoCs or we are doing it ourselves
in-house.  If you are a little company the latter is not realistic of
course.

Subject: [TN] RoHS question

Hello Everyone,

For RoHS compliant PCB assemblies we collect and store RoHS C of C's for all
of the components and bare PCB's.  We have now been asked to do a Finish
Goods build that will include a plastic housing and labels.  The suppliers
of these are not going to issue a RoHS statement.

Has anyone else had this issue?  If so what steps were taken to satisfy your
requirements?

Thanks,

Jerry Dengler
