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.-- OOO - Own Opinions Only. With best wishes.
