Dear Members, The Ministry of Information Industry, the leading Chinese government authority for China RoHS, has posted a common Q&A regarding China RoHS since June 5, 2006, at http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/06/05/art_722_14805.html. There are total 36 Q&A. The first nine Q&A are the same from the one posted last March. Some Q&A you may be interested in are: 1. The definition for household electronic products include TVs, radio receivers, CD players, audio equipment, etc. Refrigerators, washers, air conditioners, etc. are not under scope of electronic information products. (Q&A 10) 2. Electronic products used in vehicles: "Business to business" supply type is not under scope of the China RoHS law (the Measure). "Business to consumer" supply type is within the scope of the Measure. (Q&A 12) 3. Maintenance parts: Parts manufactured after March 1, 2007 are subject to the Measure. (Q&A 14) 4. Batteries are within the scope of the Measure. (Q&A 24) 5. Q: Is there any English version of the Measure? A: The Measure is the Chinese legal document. Traditionally, (government) do not provide an English version. There are many English versions available online for reference. If there is a dispute between an English version and the Chinese version, the Chinese version take precedence. (Q&A 36) Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
