Have you 100% self test for every other operation or claim that vendors make for their products on existing D of C's - I doubt it. So why get paranoid now? Accepting D of C's is permissible but ought if practicable be backed up by spot testing.
Getting details of the composition is not a requirement of RoHS and would add significant burden to do so. Why push for more than is required - if too many people push then it will become a defacto requirement and then a mandatory requirement. Do you take your car home after a smog check and then take it to a lab to have it checked again or do you accept the smog station certificate? Regards, Chris ____________ _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of jeff collins Sent: 08 September 2005 09:55 To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: RoHS: Proof of Supplier Component Compliance Group, I am finding several component suppliers ( many who are major mfr's ) that will issue a COC or letter of conformity to RoHS but with no Evidence of compliance or even a breakdown of the weights or percentages of the hazardous substances. Is anyone else having this issue? This puts us in a position where we either have to: * Blindly accept their COC/Letter of conformance and HOPE they really are compliant and do not exceed the hazardous threshold limits. * Have their components tested. ( An expensive option ) * Change suppliers to one that can provide this info ( A very very painful and expensive option at this point ) So I know this is a rhetorical question but how can they claim compliance for their components and not know the Mass and % of Content of the banned substances?
