OK on this issue, is there an opt out clause for small run products ??
EG most of my work is 1 -100 units, never more than 1K (if I did more
than that it would be a miracle)
So would these type of products be generally exempt ?
Some have auto exemption due to being Medical etc. But I have not seen a
decent document explaining it in terms that apply as most seem to assume
100's of K units a year.
Kathy,
In addition to what has been said, it can be expected
that the current exemptions are going to fall within
a couple of years. As soon as one competitior is able
to produce an exempt product leadfree, he'll announce
that fact as distinct marketing advantage. Then a
while later the law makers assume that the technology
is up to date and withdraw the exemption.
So don't relax just in case you're now in an exempt
field. I'm not producing myself, but have it outsourced.
These guys charge a bit more to be able to produce
leadfree. Fair enough.
