It's rather sad and disappointing that in this time of environmental concern and worry about the sustainability of the earth's resources that the implementation of two such important pieces of legislation as the WEEE and RoHS Directives has been plagued by problems.
We now finally have the Regulations implementing the RoHS (Removal of Hazardous Substances from Electronic and Electrical Equipment) Directive and what's more some Guidance Notes from the DTI to explain them. The Regulations come into effect next year and anyone who thinks they may be affected can download a copy of them from http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2005/20052748.htm
Copies of the Guidance Notes can be downloaded from:
