But these are valid in Britain only, not Europe-wide. Also, what really
doesn't make sense is the principle:
For the purposes of the RoHS Regulations, a maximum concentration
value of up to X% by weight in homogeneous materials for [toxic
substances] will be permitted in EEE.
It's NOT the percentage that matters; it's the actual mass of toxin. As
it is, (1.1*X)% in a 1 g part is not allowed but X% of a 10 kg part IS
allowed.
