RoHS Exemptions continued
Equipment specifically for the protection of the
security of the member states and for military
purposes, e.g. arms, munitions and war material.
Large scale industrial tools.
Elements of a system which are not identifiable as
EEE in its own right or that does not have a direct
function away from the installation and is
Equipment that is part of a fixed installation:
Combination of several pieces of equipment
systems, products and/or components.
Assembled and/or erected by a professional
assembler or installer.
At a given place to operate together in an
expected environment to perform a specific task.

Large scale industrial tools.

•
Large scale industrial tools are specifically exempt
under category 6. There is no present clear
guidance on the scope of EEE covered by this
exemption and it is therefore difficult for us to give
advice with certainty. Our present view is based on
all of the following criteria:
Consist of a combination of equipment, systems,
products and/or components (therefore not a singe
discrete tool such as a small or medium scale lathe,
milling machine or pillar drill)
Be a tool and not be covered under any other
category
Be required to be fixed to operate safely or within
specification
Be of ‘large-scale’
Require professional installation
Only be used in an industrial environment
Be built to perform a specific task

Is it a fixed installation?
• The intention of the fixed installation
exclusion follows the same principles as
the exclusion for vehicle mounted
equipment. ‘Products that become part of
a product that is outside the scope of the
directive are outside the scope of the
directive’. In the case of fixed
installations the intention is that the
product becomes part of the fabric of the
building. Once fitted is the equipment
discernable from the rest of the building
or has it become part of the building? If a
business were to move would they be
likely to move or leave the product? Lifts,
electric doors and gates etc are fixed
installations, fitted kitchen appliances,
large fixed equipment, cctv camera
systems are not.

RoHS Exemptions continued
Additional exceptions granted by the EU Commission
supposed to be published by March 2005 has been
delayed and a official objection by a Member of the EU
Parliament has been published.
Various industries and company exemptions need to be
investigated, may be approved after July 2006 Directive
effective date.
Equipment placed on the market before July 2006 may
be maintained and repaired with non-compliant parts.
This is under review by the EU Commission.

RoHS Enforcement
Each EU State
► Adopts RoHS into National Law.
►Sets up enforcement mechanism
Personnel and administrative provisions.
►Determines penalties which must be:
Effective-Proportionate- Dissuasive.
Examples: UK: Fines and prosecution of director and removal of EEE
from market.
NL: Fines and removal of EEE from the market.
Germany: Fines up to 50,000€ for each offence , removal of
EEE from the market.

21
RoHS Producer Implementation
All producers of EEE
▬Effective July 1, 2006 place EEE on the EU
Market that complies with RoHS directive
only.
▬Technical documentation verifying absence
of banned hazardous substances in all
components, materials, and parts.
Copyright 2007 QNET LLC
22
RoHS Producer Implementation
Document Compliance
► Supplier: Compliance declarations or
certificate (no standardized format) for each
component.
► Supplier: Test results or analysis certificate.
► Producer: Standard procedure and records
showing due diligence obtaining documented
proof of RoHS compliance for each component.
► Producer: Performs
internal audits of
procedures and records.
Copyright 2007 QNET LLC
23
RoHS Implementation
Manufacturers must verify that the
components used in their end products
are RoHS compliant. Documented
compliance must be available for each
component. If documentation is not
available, the only alternative may be to
have the component analyzed for
hazardous substances.
Manufacturers should request a
declaration from each supplier and if in
doubt review for accuracy and test if
necessary.
Copyright 2007 QNET LLC
24
Suppliers may design their own materials
declarations or certificates, there is no
standard format.
There are no requirements for special
marking or testing by independent third
parties
Importers should be provided all
technical documentation detailing the
presence or absence of RoHS restricted
material.

25
No official RoHS Symbol
• The International Electrotechnical
Commission has decided not to publish a
standard covering the marking and
labeling of products designated as leadfree or RoHS compliant.
• The speed with which RoHS compliance
changes renders any mark or label
meaningless.
• Compliance information can be given by
a manufacturer declaration only.
