Hi Everyone,

The Annex of the proposed ROHS Directive exempts (among other things) the 
following from the requirements set out in Article 4(1):-

"Lead in...electronic components"

"Lead in solder for network infrastructure equipment for switching, signalling, 
transmission as well as network management for telecommunication."

So I understand from the above that a piece of telecom equipment which is 
considered part of the network doesn't have to comply with the requirements of 
this Directive by 1 July 2006, as far as lead in electronic components and 
solder is concerned.

However, the Annex goes on to say that lead in solder for network 
infrastructure equipment should be evaluated by the Commission as a matter of 
priority, with a view to setting a specific time limit for this exemption.

Does anyone know of any such discussions regarding an applicable compliance 
timeframe? 

Thanks in advance,

Dave
