Joyce, UL's world is a scary one; safety and regulatory compliance are not standardized, country to country. There is UL, CSA, CA, TUV, etc... Now there is RoHS. UL is pointing out, on page 47, all the different ways this will or won't come together, by country, and how complicated that could be for product compliance. It appears to me that UL is selling a solution to the problem that the RoHS compliance infrastructure isn't in place, namely: "UL 's Restricted Systems Compliance Solution".
