Hi Dale,

take a look to the Directive 2011/65/EU RoHS II.
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2011:174:0088:011
0:EN:PDF

there are plenty of significant differences, CE mark now will warranty the
full RoHS II compliance. That's not a so easy effort to fulfil all the
necessary Technical Documentation.

Take a look to Annex III, plenty of those Exempted Applications are already
expired, and if you check on your shelves, you'll find plenty of your
components declared RoHS (2002/95/EC) compliant that now are not more
compliant with 2011/65/EU.

Component supplier declarations (COC) ? Suppliers they try to do their best,
but  main goal for them is to sale components to customers, fortunately for
them, not so much aware about the meaning of 2011/65/EU ......

Okay Technetters, need your help! This may be old news to most of you but
I'm starting to get inquiries from clients that ask whether the components
we use to build their products are RoHS 2 compliant. As far as I can tell
from the research I've done, not much changed with the re-cast of the RoHS
directive. I don't believe any new elements were added to the list of
forbidden chemicals and mostly administrative changes were made to the
directive. Maybe I missed something...

We also haven't seen a major rush from our component suppliers to document
RoHS 2 compliance on their invoices/pack lists. In fact, I can't think of
any that have used that updated text. All of them still use the "RoHS
Compliant" statement, which I believe covers basically the same ground as
stating compliance to RoHS 2. 

Anyone care to weigh in on the differences between the old/new directives
and/or the necessity to document compliance to RoHS 2?

Thanks!
