Guys, just a query that was raised on another thread concerning the EU WEEE directive. It affects all manufactured and imported electrical goods in the EU (where Burnin' is located.) Someone asked whether it concerns component parts, and I dug this up;
Q. Are component parts of electrical equipment considered to be EEE?
A. Components cover the range of discrete items that form part of a finished product and thus enable it to work properly, for example transistors, capacitors, diodes or internal wiring. Sub-assemblies are packages of components assembled into discrete units, such as display panels or populated circuit boards. Components and sub-assemblies supplied for further manufacture or assembly are not finished products and are therefore not considered to be EEE in their own right.
So the chips are fine, and say Burnin's empty pcb boards, but not 100% on if Burnin's completed boards are. I guess though without a power supply they come under 'populated sub-assembly's' and may be ok...?
Technically do they require any 'further manufacture', and do you reckon buying a PSU comes under further manufacture? Because if not, you may have a problem...

AS you can earlier, bur in is already planning to register for Weee certification.
