We are an automotive parts manufacturer supplying to customers in USA, Europe, Asia etc. One of our European customers has given in the purchase order " Parts to comply with RoHS regulations".
While surfing the web I got some information stating that parts should not have more than 0.1% by weight in homogenous material for each of the elements like lead , mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium etc.
Now we use lead upto 0.35% in the free cutting steel used by us and hexavalent chromium is part of passivation process during zinc plating.
As a manufacturer of automotive parts, what actions have to be taken by us to meet this regulations?
Thanks
Andy
