November 2, 2007: NWML releases report on UK RoHS Enforcement.

The UK RoHS enforcement authority, the National Weights and Measures Laboratory (NWML), has released its first year report on enforcement of the EU RoHS Directive. The NWML confirmed that a large number of compliance issues had been found and remedial actions taken with several producers. Enforcement was hampered by limitations defined in the UK RoHS regulation; the regulation will be updated in Feb 2008 to increase enforcement powers.
