To English language standard experts, How do you understand "specific part" and "specific range of parts" in last sentence in EN 50581:2012 Cl. 4.3.3 (a): "Such declarations ... shall cover a specific ... part ... or a specific range of ... parts..."
According to: - directives understanding of putting product on the market (not type but single piece), - direct meaning of the words (as I fill them), it looks that: part = this one single part, range of parts = some (specified) number of the same type parts. If it is true I see problems with ROHS DoC. If I buy 100pcs of 0603 1k resistors should I ask the supplier for sending me the declaration for specified range of these 100pcs ? And the same for all 200 other types of elements ? The other way of understanding is: part = part type (resistor 0603 1k) range of parts = range of part types (resistor 0603 from 1ohm to 10Mohm) This looks more logical for someone trying to make ROHS DoC but: If they wonted to say "part type" or "range of part types" they would certainly said that. As they didn't said that I think they had the previous understanding in mind. What is the solution I don't see ?
