Does ANYONE really have a clue ? Is there actually a standard ? An actual thought processs ? Are the "manufacturers" supposed to GUESS if they are or are not in compliance ? What parts are or are not exempt ? What they can and can not do ?
My thought is if you have the balls to impose rules,rules that favor the few over the many,that effect a serious chunk of commerce that has a major impact on anyone that wants to step up and out of mass produced garbage you should at least have the decency to make them clear enough to understand so there are no "pearl harbor" jobs (that is a sneak attack,a bushwhack) nailing the innocent with fines heavy enough to put them down but that seemingly is far too much to ask :

WTF DOES THAT MEAN ?

actual manufacturers/builders of high end pro gear and these are not idiots yet they are mostly totally fkn baffled.They know a serious f**king is taking place but the "facts" coming from the rule makers are about as rare as hens teeth.Why ?
They made the rules so what the fk is the problem with explaining them in a way that can be understood by anyone NOT an attorney at law ?

the story gets uglier every day and July 1 is right around the corner.Like some others I will be stocking up on,hoarding if you want to call it that,solder and parts that actually go through a pcb hole or can be used in point-to-point construction.
The real truth is this is the actual target.The guy who makes a :"one of" or a small run of high end products.When everything available from parts suppliers is both SMD and Lead Free it will be the automated assembly line that gets preferential treatment and the true craftsman doing hand built products that is being cast to the trash heap as being old fashioned and archaic.A relic who's time has past
You guys will get junk from the Orient that will self destruct in a year or two but being cheap no one will care.Modding gear will be a thing of the past also since once the current stock of parts is sold off there will be no replenishing,only replacing with RoHs compliant garbage
