I know this is not the RoHS forum, but I am having trouble with a simple question and hope someone here can point me in the right direction. Have not been able to get a clear reading from "RoHS" web sites.
We make ITE/AV equipment, category 3 and 4 in RoHS Directive Annex I. At what date must our product be compliant with RoHS 2.0 ( the added 4 substances restrictions)? I say immediately on publication of the first country legislation implementing Directive (EU) 2015/863 or 31 December 2016. One of our factories is arguing that the additional 4 substance restrictions do not apply to our products until 22 July 2019. Which of us is correct? (If you feel generous, please cite page, paragraph, rule where you base your comment on.) Thank you one and all for your comments. - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
