Hi Dale, take a look to the Directive 2011/65/EU RoHS II. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2011:174:0088:011 0:EN:PDF there are plenty of significant differences, CE mark now will warranty the full RoHS II compliance. That's not a so easy effort to fulfil all the necessary Technical Documentation. Take a look to Annex III, plenty of those Exempted Applications are already expired, and if you check on your shelves, you'll find plenty of your components declared RoHS (2002/95/EC) compliant that now are not more compliant with 2011/65/EU. Component supplier declarations (COC) ? Suppliers they try to do their best, but main goal for them is to sale components to customers, fortunately for them, not so much aware about the meaning of 2011/65/EU ......

This may be old news to most of you but I'm starting to get inquiries from clients that ask whether the components we use to build their products are RoHS 2 compliant. As far as I can tell from the research I've done, not much changed with the re-cast of the RoHS directive. I don't believe any new elements were added to the list of forbidden chemicals and mostly administrative changes were made to the directive. Maybe I missed something... We also haven't seen a major rush from our component suppliers to document RoHS 2 compliance on their invoices/pack lists. In fact, I can't think of any that have used that updated text. All of them still use the "RoHS Compliant" statement, which I believe covers basically the same ground as stating compliance to RoHS 2. Anyone care to weigh in on the differences between the old/new directives and/or the necessity to document compliance to RoHS 2? Thanks!
