Hi Phil,

Is oil or coolant essential part of your EEE? I mean does your EEE needs
such oil to run? If yes it is in the scope of RoHS.
Probably oil does not contain any of the  6 substances controlled by RoHS
(Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), Cadmium (Cd),
Polybrominated Biphenyl flame retardants (PBB), and Polybrominated Diphenyl
Ether flame retardants (PBDE)
By the way, you need to check with your supplier or by reading Data Sheet
and MSDS as well. It could be contained flame retardant like: PBB or PBDE? 

If oil is used as part of the process you run on such EEE, in that case oil
is considered as a consumables and out of the scope of RoHS II (2011/65/EU).

Oggetto: [TN] fluids covered by RoHS?

We have a unit that is being requested by the customer to be RoHS compliant.
This unit uses Diala dielectric oil and ethylene glycol as coolant.  To date
we have coded RoHS compliant parts by adding a G prefix to our letter
revision of the assembly.  Therefor when reviewing a Bill of Materials we
can quickly see what is and is not RoHS compliant.  Our internal process
calls for all revisions of all parts to have a G prefix to call the top
level (finished [product) RoHS compliant.

We have batteries in these and I know they are not covered by the RoHS
directive.

Should I be concerned with the oil or coolant?
