Thanks John, I have been thrown into this mess and this gives insights that I have not found elsewhere with the references to back it up.
We are currently trying to determine if our products fall under exemption for "Lead in solders for servers, storage array systems, and network infrastructure equipment". Some may and some may not. Based on your presentation we would like all of them to. The DTI guidance provided some help. Are you or anyone else in the group aware of any other resources that would help with our determination? Again thanks for freely giving the material. Rick Linford Regulatory Engineer Sonicwall, Inc.
