A year ago, I heard that no one applied to exend the high lead exemption, so it was going away. I know there is a big scramble in the chip attach world to get something that will substitute for high lead - of course that could be just to call the product "green". Also looking forward to clarification I have sent this along to ComplianceNet, where I am sure someone can answer. -----Original Message----- From: Bev Christian <[log in to unmask]> To: TechNet <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Fri, Mar 18, 2011 9:46 am Subject: Re: [TN] ROHS Exemptions Jonathan, here is 7a, 7b, 7c I, 7c II and 7c III.
