The cut off was 1st July 2006. Non compliant goods had to have 
been already sold or 'on the market' by that date. Items still in 
production don't count. The stupidity of the legislation means it 
applies to a 1930s US made radiogram the same as a brand new Alpha 
amplifier if the individual item (not the product range) hasn't 
been on sale in the EU before the cut off date.

Of course, if you're buying the equipment as spares for something 
that's already legally in the EU, RoHS doesn't apply.
