Dear Peter, Thank you very much for your questions. Following is my personal comments to your questions 1) The limit for toxic and hazardous substances will be included in the test standards to be formulated. To be conservative, Chinese rules would like to have "other..." added to cover any unexpected issues if any. An advantage for this addition will eliminate revision for the law. For example, in the future if any toxic substance to be added, an appendix referring to this "other..." rule works. 2) The answers to this question are included in the China RoHS Q&A which I sent out this morning. The answers can be found from Item 3 and 4 of the defferences between the Administrative Measure and the EU RoHS Directive. 3) Please find the answers from the China RoHS Q&A regarding "two steps' walk". 4) Under currect China compulsory certification rules, in country testing is a requirement. This means during application process, you are required to send product samples to a designated lab to obtain a test report. Ms. Bo and Ms. Lu, please correct me if this is not true any more. 5) I have no answers for these questions at this time. By the way, thank you for pointing out my web site error. I had it corrected this morning. Best regards, Grace Lin Grace Compliance Specialist New Jersey, USA grace...@graspllc.com www.graspllc.com

And as a show stopper they add "Other toxic or hazard substances set bys state" i.e. no end to this ? Where are thees other substances listed ? 2) In the EU RoHS there are currently exempted products which will have a transistion period of at least until EU includes product catergory 8 & 9 into RoHS (most likely not before 2009/2010). However the China RoHS does not use the term exemptions but lists incuded products, and the list is quite wide ranging also including some EU exempted products. Now does that mean that we have to comply in China with products that are OK in EU (for now) ? 3) The China RoHS seems to be valid from march 1st 2007. Is that realy true ? 4) Does the requirement for documentation of hazardous contents require us to make analysis of exact contents ? I.e. do we have to send a product for chemical analysis ? 5) As i read the doc. we also have to add CCC mark if covered by China RoHS is that true ? If so products not previsuosly under CCC regulation now have to add CCC anyway! Does this mean that such a product will have to comply to other CCC aspects as well or only RoHS aspects ? Thats it for now, i hope to have some of the above points commented ;o) Have a nice day all, Best regards PBI-Dansensor Peter Weichel Test and Approval Engineer PBI-Dansensor A/S Roennedevej 18 DK-4100 Ringsted Tel.: (+45) 57 66 00 88 Fax: (+45) 57 66 00 99 e-mail: p...@pbi-dansensor.com Website: www.pbi-dansensorcom PBI-Dansensor Peter Weichel Test and Approval Engineer PBI-Dansensor A/S Roennedevej 18 DK-4100 Ringsted Tel.: (+45) 57 66 00 88 Fax: (+45) 57 66 00 99 e-mail: p...@pbi-dansensor.com Website: www.pbi-dansensor.com CONFIDENTIALITY.
