There's no exception in the RoHS Dir. related to industrial equipment. You don't identify whether the x-rays are "hard" or "soft." For at least soft x-rays, there are some common, relatively low cost materials that could work (in similar fashion to how an optical system has bandpass and bandstop properties). For hard x-rays, more exotic and costly materials are needed. Peter Tarver - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
