Hi Cheryl, IPC LF Listservers, Hey Jim, Thanks for the question. <Unless each individual product has been sitting on the shelf for 15 years, this will not fly. When each individual product gets to the shelf, that is when it is available.> Cheryl does point out something interesting. If your or anyone's product is sitting on a shelf in the EU, ready and waiting to be purchased, it doesn't have to comply with RoHS. Yours in Engineering, Dave YiEngr, MA/NY DDave -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Leadfee Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Leadfree To temporarily stop/(start) delivery of Leadree for vacation breaks send: SET Leadfree NOMAIL/(MAIL) Search previous postings at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
