Ed Sperling (Electronic News) has a great article about how the RoHS procrastinators are slowing the process down for the rest of us.
There’s some good news in all of this. Vendors say the level of awareness of the approaching deadline for the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) -- and its international counterparts in China and a handful of states within the United States -- is finally reaching an acceptable level.
Almost everyone has heard of the regulations, and most are taking steps to comply:
The first taste of that was when Sony shipped Playstations into Europe with non-compliant power supplies a few years ago. An entire shipment never made it into the European market, affecting everyone within Sony’s supply chain. Executives say that RoHS will multiply that type of effect by several orders of magnitude.
