To quote a leading consultant* on RoHS matters:

"Maintenance and repair - spare parts for repair, upgrade or reuse of 
electrical and electronic equipment on the market before 1st July 2006"
[are exempt.]

and

"...the use of non-RoHS compliant material in EEE products put on the
market before 1 July 2006 for the purposes of capacity expansion/upgrades
is allowed, providing that the EEE is not put on the market as a new
product."
