RS Flags RoHS Products And Intros Sample Packs

"RS is aiming to help customers to comply with the forthcoming RoHS Directive by marking products in its online catalogue with a RoHS component compliance status flag. It has labelled RoHS compliant products in its online catalogue with a green flag. To further remove confusion, products that are exempt and products that don’t comply will also be clearly marked. To evaluate lead free soldering, RoHS compliant sample packs are available free of charge from RS (Stock code 517 7278). These contain lead-free solder and other electronic components that comply with the legislation." Source: eetuk.com
