The cadmium aspect ? We'll just continue using the photocells we've always used as normnal.

That reminds me actually, there's another one we use ( not Silonex ) that comes from China. I bet they haven't applied for exemption.

As for 'lead free' we're in the hands of our sub-contractors. I've raised the issue many times with the department manager but he
seems to be asleep on the job - seems to have a 'can't do anything about it - so don't care' attitude.

The whole thing's a bloody farce anyway. ROHS and WEEE tto for the most part.

We've plenty of old lead-containing stock ( it seems no-one considered this issue ) - if someone wants to complain they'll shut us
down - end of story. Who's going to be checking anyway ?

I had to chuckle when checking out CPC ( part of Farnell ) the other day. Plenty of stuff there to that had in the description 'ROHS
compliant - NO' ! It's just 2 months away now.

How about yourself ?

I'm trying to start making some useful audio/ video/DC stuff for web
selling.I have no stock in hand. Done most of the PCB layouts etc So
it was relatively easy to check the BOMs for RoHS.

It was just one horrible shock when I encountered the WEEE
gobbledegook, from my secluded ivory tower. (must get out more)

WEEE seems to be a mess. It's already been delayed a bit. The infrastructure simply isn't there.
