I would like to know where (which countries) RoHS is mandatory(required)? Only in Europe? Will RoHS be requested by Regulators in Latin America countries?
Dr. Ruud Overbeek: It is not a simple answer, but there will be various countries with rohs or rohs like legislations. First of all the EU rohs covers 25 countries in the EU. There will also be California rohs starting January 07 covering limited equipment but it will be covering all rohs equipment in 2010. There will be china rohs as of march 07 and Korea rohs as of july 07. There is also Japan rohs right now, having mandatory labeling but voluntary restrictions. Other countries are following like Taiwan and possibly other states soon in the USA. It is unknown at this point if south American countries will follow.

Dear Reader:
I suggest the following set of presentations is of interest, as it addresses the following question: Does 1st July 2006 RoHS Enforcement Signal A Paradigm Shift?
It also provides an update on "RoHS" legislation in California, China, Japan and Korea.
