China RoHS (AMCPCEIP)

"An English translation of the Administrative Measures on the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products is now available. This mouthful of a regulation, more popularly known as China RoHS, was released for industry review on 27 September 2005. The review period ends 27 November. Here is a very brief summary of this new regulation. The acronym, AMCPCEIP, is of no value whatsoever. I predict that China RoHS will stick permanently. The law is strongly patterned after RoHS. Virtually every kind of electrical or electronic gear is covered, even including software (presumably packaging and media)." Source: rohswell.com
