Does the transition to lead-free technology make life-time buys more difficult?
A25. Yes. You should immediately transition all parts and designs to their lead-free counterparts, and undertake a new life-time buy for these lead-free components. For existing life-time buys you can only sell lead-containing product for the purposes of repairing EEE, or as an extension to the original contract. New customers will have to purchase components etc in the lead-free form. Q26.
