Ian, California's Senate Bill 20 (SB20, http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/03-04/bill/sen/sb_0001-0050/ sb_20_bill_20030925_chaptered.pdf ), as amended by Senate Bill 50 (SB50, http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/03-04/bill/sen/sb_0001-0050/ sb_50_bill_20040929_chaptered.pdf ), covers video display devices with screen sizes of 4 inches and larger.
The key definitions are in: * SB20 Article 2, sections 42463(f)(1) and 42463(f)(2) on page 9. * SB50 sections 25214.10.1(a)(1) on page 6. A "gotcha" is that California's Department of Toxic Substances Control has the final authority for determining what is, or is not, a "covered electronic device". I have summaries of these bills and the actual laws/regulations implementing them, as references [12] through [18] in my now-350-page Bibliography for Designing Lead-Free, RoHS-Compliant, and WEEE-Compliant Electronics at http://www.dbicorporation.com/rohsbib.htm John Barnes KS4GL, PE, NCE, NCT, ESDC Eng, ESDC Tech, PSE, SM IEEE dBi Corporation http://www.dbicorporation.com/ - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
