First off, a belated thank you to the folks that helped with a confusing requirement on buzzer loudness.
Now I have a new confusing thing :-) Despite reading numerous papers, presentations, and the official notice, I am still confused about how it affects designs. Here is what I get: -- all new designs (introduced to the market now) need RoHS II compliance for CE marking ---- the substance list for RoHS II is the same as RoHS I (for now) ---- the documentation for the design elements with regards to RoHS II substances needs to be more complete ---- this documentation is part of a technical file ---- there needs to be a risk assessment in regards to whether the manufacturers that you get components from are compliant -- existing designs which were subject to RoHS I can continue to ship without the additional RoHS II documentation requirements, and can still be CE marked -- existing designs which were exempt from RoHS I have a period of time that they can continue to ship before becoming compliant. What are the glaring holes in my summary?
