FYI John Burke (408) 515 4992 -----Original Message----- From: Leadfree [mailto:Leadfree@xxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Kirschner Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 7:47 AM To: Leadfree@xxxxxxx Subject: [LF] China RoHS DRAFT Catalog, Batch #1 FYI China MIIT has issued the infamous and long-awaited Catalog for review and comment by Nov. 9. It contains cell phones, regular phones, and printers. Some seemingly relevant exemptions based on EU RoHS are provided. We translated it in to English and have made it available for a small fee at www.chinarohs.com. If your company sells any of these products or is in the supply chain for any of them you should read and comment on this. It goes in to force 10 months from the promulgation date. And while it's not addressed, this is where China RoHS requires testing to prove compliance.
