Hello Dale,

Under RoHS2, the following exemptions are no longer allowed:

	- 7(c)-III
	- 11(b)

Products claiming these exemptions are not compliant.
Also, if components were converted to be compliant without those exemptions, old existing inventory may still be claiming the exemption and it is important to review converted parts inventory to ensure that only RoHS2 compliant is used.

Objet : [TN] RoHS 2 Requirements

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!
