RoHS enforcement guidance document published

Jun 15, 2006

This Guidance Document has been developed through discussions within the "EU RoHS Enforcement Authorities Informal Network" and aims to harmonise national enforcement and provide clarity to industry on compliance.

The document contains three sections:
1. Introduction: Aims & Objectives, Principles and the Enforcement Process
2. RoHS Compliance Documentation
3. Sampling & Testing Issues

This is the first version issued in May 2006.

It should be noted that the document is informative and advisory but has no legal authority. Individual Member State RoHS enforcement authorities are bound by their own national legal structures and can only apply this guidance within the confines of those structures.
