This one is really baffling me and I can't seem to find anyone or any Information to confirm their status. My take on it is that Evaluation boards are not...
Pete, I have not heard of semiconductor eval boards being exempt from RoHS, and I do not know either which exemptions the manufacturers are citing. However,...
If test boards are sent to the customer for use, is this considered "put on the market?" Guidance from the European Commission discusses "put on the market"...
For any number of reasons, it appears that the "put on the market" threshold is going to inevitably fall somewhere into some level of legal interpretation....
The test/eval board would be being placed on the market but what product category are you trying to put it in? Secondly if the board is for evaluating devices...
All, As best I know, eval boards have no exemption. We are working with a number of large semiconductor companies converting these designs. It does not...

Hello All I'm new to this forum and it's very informative looking back through previous posts. I have a question of quite a general nature that I would be...
Honestly.. I'd say 99% are affected in one way or another. 1) Even if you don't ship to the EU...a lot of your suppliers supply parts to people who do..and...
Kerry, You bring up a very good question, but unfortunately RoHS affects companies all the way down to the mine from where the raw materials are extracted. So...
Hi Otto, Sounds like a supplier that doesnt have a plan for RoHS or doesnt really understand. Otto de Smit <ottodesmit@...> wrote: Hi All, I am getting...
Hi Alan. I had the same idea. But let me tell you how I got puzzled. The day before yesterday I spoke with a supplier who told me that we where the first to...
