Pb Free Components Versus RoHS Components

[owner-emc-p...@listserv.ieee.org]

 Hello,

Trying to understand the requirement for Pb Free versus RoHS compliance and
how manufcaturer's are addressing this.

>From my understanding a part can be Pb free but not RoHS compliant.

Manufacturer's have Pb free designation.
Does this imply RoHS compliance or must I search for explicit reference to
RoHS Compliance?

Thanks
