Yes, what is your question? You can find some information in the thread, Is RoHS just for the electronics industry?

Actually can RoHS can apply to automotive industry? What i know that EU ban cd, pb,Hg,br, and cr6+...etc..my doubt are for Cr6+ are include all Cr6+ substance. Actually my company have one x-ray machine that can detect all substance but exception for Cr6+ where not detect hexavalent chromate...

Q4. My company manufactures components and sub-assemblies for the automotive industry. Are we covered by the WEEE/ROHS ban on lead?

A4. There is a separate Directive which applies to the automotive industry – the EOLV (end-of-life vehicles) Directive. This Directive, which is already in force also bans the use of lead and other hazardous substances, but it does specifically exempt lead in solder for electronics. For the automotive industry the EOLV Directive takes precedence over the WEEE/ROHS Directives, but the situation may change since the Commission can "on a regular basis, according to technical and scientific progress, amend, add to or delete from the list of exemptions". Currently it is generally understood that "solders for electronic circuit boards and other electrical applications" for vehicles are exempt, but lead in solders for non-electrical applications (e.g. radiators) is banned for products put on the market after July 2003. In spite of the EOLV exemption for electronics, many manufacturers have already made the transition (or intend to) to lead-free materials and soldering processes.
