Well I am out of date, but seemingly not THAT out of date, In 2011 there was
a new EU Directive 2011/65/EU on this enforceable from 2014.
Google it for a definitive text.
I did and  also found a handy summary

http://www.mddionline.com/article/overcome-challenges-posed-rohs-recast 
This is a little more accessible, but I haven't checked its accuracy.

Subject: [TN] need chapter and verse regarding exemption for lead as x-ray
shielding

Hi guys,

I have an agency inspector asking about lead x-ray shielding and lead oxide
as used in litharge materials for x-ray shielding.  I know this is exempted
from the RoHS directive, but am at a loss as to where to find the statement.

Do we need a waiver?  The end customer has not requested the unit be RoHS
compliant as the equipment is exempt as it is for x-ray baggage scanning.

Can anybody point me to a document or URL?

Thanks in advance,
