Peter... I was just out at your site. I suggest you update your page
http://www.citizensband.radiouk.com/...ics/solder.php to
comply with RoHS. After all you are part of the European directive.
You better get with the program...

Is your product RoHS compliant, to the requirements of the UK?

Oh, wait a minute...

SSM2188S is not RoHS compliant.

Is that not the part you use? Does that not make your
product illegal to place on the market within the
United Kingdom?

You had better check all the parts used in manufacture. Dealers
could be extremely unhappy if they found their stock seized
and used as evidence before being destroyed.
But it may not quite be that bad, Trading Standards often offer
the chance to disown the items, allowing them to just go
straight to the destruction stage.

As you were so keen to ensure my Web site met the standards,
I am sure that you would want to be sure of the legal position
of your product.

In case you wondered, according to UK law, Lou's speech
processor is exempt but your VoiceMax must comply with the
regulations.
I suspect that, if any non-compliant products have been sold,
those "in the field" would need to be recalled.

That could be quite embarassing.


Regards,
Peter.
