My company builds electrical medical equipment which is exempt from ROHS until 2016. My question is: Do the service spares also need to be ROHS compliant? I have read that if the products put on the market after 2006 the spares must be ROHS compliant. Since the equipment we build is exempt until 2016, does that move the date for spares to be ROHS from 2006 to 2016? Another words, any service spare manufactured before 2016 will be exempt?
