Specifically, it's under Article 2, Scope, Para. 3. in the WEEE -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Kevin Glidden Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 8:24 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] RoHS and Aerospace I believe the exemption comes from NOT being included in the categories in Annex 1A of the WEEE Directive. Kevin Glidden Manufacturing Engineer Astronics Luminescent Systems Inc. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bloomquist, Ken Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 9:10 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] RoHS and Aerospace It is widely known that the aircraft industry is exempt from the lead free requirements of RoHS but where exactly is that stated? I've looked through the exemptions and didn't see it. I did see that number 15 of the 4th Batch Exemption Proposals (Submitted by Industry on October 2005) requested exemption for the avionic - aerospace industry but is it actually spelled out anywhere?
