Hi Brian, I recommend reading section 3 of the RoHS 2 FAQ: https://environment.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2021-01/FAQ%20key%20guidance%20document%20-%20RoHS.pdf Here's a few relevant snippets; there is more explanation in the document:
In order to benefit from either exclusion the tool or installation must meet all the respective requirements. As stated below, it has to be: (Tool) - an assembly of machines, equipment and/or components, functioning together for a specific application; - permanently installed and de-installed by professionals at a given place; - used and maintained by professionals in an industrial manufacturing facility or R&D facility; - and it has to be large-scale; ... Examples of large-scale stationary industrial tools (benefiting from an exclusion): - Machines for the industrial production and processing of materials and goods, such as o CNC lathes; o Bridge-type milling and drilling machines; o Metal forming presses; o Newspaper printing presses; Best regards, Mark Stultz | CMSE(r) | Sealed Air | Automated Packaging Systems | Streetsboro, OH | 330-342-2402 From: Brian Kunde <bkundew...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, 26 July, 2022 10:36 AM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] RoHS Exempt Industrial Machinery CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Greetings. Would a stand-alone industrial cut-off saw (stationary grinding machine), 5hp to 30hp, intended to cut through metal material, 3-phase 380V, about the size of a large refrigerator and weighing about 400kg (880 lbs) or more, be exempt from RoHS? Wading through all the RoHS documents and guides, it would appear as if such machinery by definition of its function would be exempt from RoHS. Is this true or does it also have to be of a certain size and weight?
