hi all,

is there a definitive list of RoHS exemptions? i've read that military
/ defense applications are exempt and i've read that they are under
review, but not exempt yet.

also, does one need to apply for an exemption or does one decide one is
exempt and wait to see if the EU decides to investigate?

Ahhhhh Good question
see
http://www.dti.gov.uk/sustainability/weee/RoHS_Regs_Draft_Guidance_3_August2005.pdf
A government dept issued this,

But, quote

"*While these exclusions are not expressly provided for in the
Directive, it is the DTI view that they apply.

It should be noted, however, that a definitive legal interpretation is
only available from the court.

Producers should rely on independent legal advice on compliance. "

So even the goverments dont know, and they want you to pay lawyers to
find out

Yes, there is a list. I don't have it in english
at the moment.

The time to apply is long gone. The exemptions
just become less.
