Looking for a valid ROHS declaration for JGS516-200EUS

Hello,

 

  1. We are looking for ROHS declaration of the following Switch: JGS516-200EUS.
    The existing ROHS statement that we received last year from Netgear, includes non-Valid ROHS exemptions, therefore we can't deliver to EU.
    We need ROHS declaration, which is compliant with ROHS Directive 2011/65/EU and 2015/863 with Valid exemptions (or non-exemptions at all).
  2. In case that Netgear cannot provide such declaration, please advise which is the equivalent switch, which can provide same functional solution and will have a valid ROHS declaration.

 

Thank you for the support,

Ido

    In my reading of EUR-Lex - 32015L0863 - EN - EUR-Lex (europa.eu) it's not "ROHS Directive 2011/65/EU and 2015/863". Much more it's a change of the amendment of Annex II to Directive 2011/65/EU - overall, it remains to be the ROHS Directive 2011/65/EU after the effective date. The 204-11385-01_CE_JGS516_JGS524_JGS524F_EN-EP-FR-IT-GR-SP_29JUN18.pdf (netgear.com) is signed in June 2018, so it's covering the 2015 amendment.

     

    Please enlighten the interested reader where you have spotted the exemptions - valid or invalid ones.

      Hi,

      Thank you for the answer.

      But the question came from a place, that NETGEAR already sent us in the past ROHS decleration for 2015/863. See attached file.

      The problem is that one of the mentioned ROHS Exemptions in that declaration, is not valid today and we are blocked to deliver it to EU.

      Therefore, my request, is to have Similar declreation, which includes VALID exemptions.

      In order to simplify this:

      Exemption 6A is not valid, but 6A-I is still valid.

      So please check, we need to have declration with 6A-I or without 6 at all (since it will be expired on July 2021).

      Please also note that 7C-I will be expired on July 2021 as well.

       

      Waiting for your updates.

       

      Thank you,

      Ido

        Iso,
        Please bei aware I'm not Netgear, just trying to re-enable the communication. Sent emails on the people in charge having signed the certs back then - and never heard anything.

        Now we face a cert doc to my knowledge not available online, looking like a counterfeit with its patched product name, expired exceptions or expiring soon.

        Can't understand why these changed and enhanced regulatory still has not made it in the printed and downloadables....
