> You are being misinformed by a lot of fools.
>
> If you need the exemption, you take it yourself, and include a
> preprinted ROHS certificate in every package sent to Europe. Just claim
> that your products are "meant to expand the capacity of and/or upgrade"
> older equipment, since your products are for use as additions to a
> "professional recording studio", which qualifies them as "upgrades".
>
> This is the exemption I take :
>
> "METASONIX takes the exemption provided in Section 7 of the Annex of the
> European Union’s Restriction on the Use of Hazardous Substances in
> Electrical and Electronic Equipment (“RoHS”) Directive, 2002/95/EC:
>
> --replacement components that expand the capacity of and/or upgrade of
> EEE placed on the market before 1 July 2006.
>
> --Lead in glass of cathode ray tubes, electronic components and
> fluorescent tubes."

>
> Given the small quantities you are making, you DO NOT have to worry
> about ROHS. It was intended to keep consumer products containing lead
> and cadmium out of the waste stream, and IS NOT intended to control
> sales or shipments of specialized, low-production music equipment. The
> ROHS law is full of long lists of exemptions for things like military
> electronics, commercial communications equipment, and many other
> specialist products. There are several more you could probably take,
> besides the ones I use.
>
> I'm still using lead solder, as well as plenty of Vactrols, and have
> never had the slightest problem shipping to Europe--and btw, I think
> Analogue Systems is also taking the same exemption, and still uses lead
> solder. Lead-free solder has a lot of disadvantages.

> Feel free to post this to DIY or elsewhere. And stop worrying.
