China RoHS – Initial Products
According to contacts in China, it is still the intention to publish a restricted substances / products “Catalogue” before the end of the year that will contain a few selective products.
Two options are being considered. One is a few specific products such as personal computers, televisions etc. The other is to include materials (these are also classified under Electronic Information Products), for example – solder, where the restriction is for lead.
The second approach could have a more significant impact and could include products that are currently excluded from EU RoHS (such as aircraft) unless there are exemptions.
However, the first approach is the more likely option.

Gary;
Need some assistance in who to contact in regard to test equipment to check lead content in plastic sheets (High Density Polyethylene).
We want to test sheet in our small manufacturing plant that are made from 100 % post industrial and post consumer resins that have been washed and cleaned, dried, ground and processed into pellets at 400 degrees F.
An instrument that can be used by production QC personnel over and over without mistakes being made.
The test is in response to a customer that is using RoHS standard (EPA) and is asking us to do the test internal. Suggestions?
