Of course, RoHS applies to all otherwise-in-scope second-hand products
made at any time that are newly placed on the EU market (from a
per-unit perspective, not a per-model line perspective).
Of course 'newly placed' applies only to non-compliant products
initially imported for 'own use' and subsequently offered for disposal
sale. Not a frequent event, and practically impossible to police.
It has recently been interpreted (by Commission and other authorities)
as prohibiting the resale of any in-scope but out-of-compliance EEE
after July 2019 because of an awkward wording in Article 2(2) --> i.e.,
no grandfathering even for items already on the market. There is a
project afoot to possibly amend this concern (a public consultation
recently closed about this, I believe).
Does anyone not understand why people in Britain are exasperated with
this sort of nonsense from Brussels? I understand it's even worse
outside the electronics industry. Mango (fly-free), anyone?
At least it seems that the requirement to discard (dead) fish that
shouldn't have been caught is being changed. Maybe someone, thinking no
further than line fishing in a river, thought that if thrown back they
would come alive again.
