    Default Use of mercury in components

    Our team has found a rotary electrical coupling (slip ring) that contains 0.07 grams of mercury as an electrical conductor. The unit is sealed and has no easy way of getting the mercury out without taking a hammer to it. <R02> list many specific "do nots" but mercury does not necessarily fall into any listed category. Can you let us know if this scenario would be permitted?

    Yes, as long as the device is maintained in it's sealed, unmodified condition.
