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?
