Tania Just had an "undeliverable" from your email address. If you pick this up via the pstc group see below and go to
http://www.europa.eu.int/geninfo/query_en.htm search on string "use of cadmium" and the pdf should come up as the first result. Or try going to the doc direct via: http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/chemicals/markrestr/studies/cadmium.pdf Chris -----Original Message----- From: James, Chris Sent: 30 January 2002 10:37 To: 'Tania Grant' Subject: RE: Cadmium plated hardware and small parts Cadmium plating has been banned for a long time now viz: "Current Restrictions on Use In 1991, Directive 91/338/EEC (the 10 th amendment of the Marketing and Use Directive (76/769/EEC)) banned the use of cadmium in a range of electroplated products such as cooling and freezing equipment and household goods (as set out in Annex 2). However, there were exemptions granted to products requiring high safety standards in the aeronautical, aerospace, mining, offshore and nuclear industries. Exemptions were also granted for safety devices in road and agricultural vehicles, rolling stock and vessels and electrical contacts in any sector of use. Broadly similar restrictions exist in Finland, Austria and Sweden." The attached pdf taken from the Europa website clarifies.

Can anyone bring me up-to-date on the latest official European and international position regarding cadmium plated hardware and other such small parts as connector backshells? I am not addressing cadmium plated assembly chassis or entire enclosures;-- these, I believe, are environmentally a "no-no". Where is this stated! How is this enforced?
