Tino, The ROHS deadline is 1st July 2006. There are no extensions available. However, there are currently some exemption applications in the pipeline for End of Life and obsolete components, but these will take some time to be implemented (if at all). You have several options: - Get the Cypress chips re-tinned; - Get as many items as you can into European warehouses before 1st July; - There are exemptions for a few product families, eg. network infrastructures and servers. Check whether your product falls into one of these. Other countries (eg. China) are implementing their own version of ROHS. You need to keep abreast of these regulations too. The IPC Leadfree Forum is very useful in this regard. Go to http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?PageID=4.3.1

I wanted to confirm something about RoHS. My design is RoHS compliant except for one Cypress chip that I have. The chip is several years old and I cannot find a lead free version. The RoHS deadline is 06/01/2006 and I want to confirm that there are no extensions that I can get (if it is not a military product). Is there some paperwork for extensions that I can fill out so that I can sell this product Europe? - Tino ____________________________________________________________ You are subscribed to the PEDA discussion forum To Post messages: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe and Other Options: http://techservinc.com/mailman/listinfo/peda_techservinc.com Browse or Search Old Archives (2001-2004): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] Browse or Search Current Archives (2004-Current): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] ____________________________________________________________ You are subscribed to the PEDA discussion forum To Post messages: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe and Other Options: http://techservinc.com/mailman/listinfo/peda_techservinc.com Browse or Search Old Archives (2001-2004): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] Browse or Search Current Archives (2004-Current): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
