Re: new EU lead/solder regulations - likely effects for European Wiard customers?

2005-06-22 by grantrichter2001

That is what I was wondering about. Let's say a piece of equipment WAS assembled after 
2006, is NOT RoHs compliant. Is it then forbidden to purchase such an item second hand for 
people in the EU? And who enforces that policy?

leaded parts for repairs of old (pre 2006 that is) stuff.
