July 1 2006
Saw the introduction of the RoHS directive in which the content of several chemicals was restricted from use in new electrical equipment, this included Chromium 6 [Cr6] used within the steel industry.
Steel laminations forming the core of a degausser must therefore comply.

Sadly no method has been found which could assure compliance, without significant cost penalties.
