i would say this is not e&it. it's a soldering workstation.
i think it'd be great to have a central federal resource that could provide
such guidance.

Subject: [teitac-general] Ball Grid Array/Surface Mounted Device
ReworkSystems
See: http://www.air-vac-eng.com/drs25.htm
The Access Board gets a lot of questions like this - regarding products I
never heard of before. I don't know if 508 requirements are kicked in. I
would like the TEITAC to please discuss whether it can provide guidance to
agencies who are faced with many such decisions regarding whether a product
is covered by 508. It is a yes or no question.
My question is whether the software mentioned in the product description
performs an IT function within a product that is not IT because its
principle function is not that of IT. (Similar to the embedded IT in the
definition of E&IT.) I used to say that all software was covered by 508, but
now I am hesitant to continue saying that. I would like the refreshed
standards to clarify how to better determine if something is covered by 508.
Specifically, how does one determine what the principle function is of
something that is not ordinary (at least not to us), and particularly
whether that function is an IT function?
