Greetings, Our products fall under Category 8 & 9 of Annex 1A of the WEEE Directive. At this time Categories 8 & 9 are exempt from the RoHS Directive. However, we ship computers, scanners, routers, power cords, etc with our equipment. Sometimes these peripherals may be shipped separately from the main equipment.
Questions: Do these peripherals need to be RoHS compliant? Is the requirement different if the peripherals are shipped with the main equipment or separate? What supporting documentation must be shipped if the peripherals are exempt? Is there a specific section of the Directive or Guidance Documents that explains this situation? All responses are greatly appreciated. Regards Joe Martin Applied Biosystems This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
