Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
Directive 2002/95/EC—commonly known as the Europea n Union (EU)
Restriction on Hazardou s Substances (RoHS)—sets limits on the use of
certain substances found in electrical and electronic equipment. The
intent of this legislation is to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals
that may leach out of landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the
environment during end-of-life recycling. The Directive took effect on
July 1, 2006, and it refers to the following hazardous substances:
•Lead (Pb)
•Mercury (Hg)
•Cadmium (Cd)
•Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)
•Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
•Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
According to this EU Directive, all products sold in the European Union
are fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” (See our website for more
information.) Spare parts supplied for the repair and upgrade of equip
ment sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the legislation. Equipment that complies with the EU directive are marked with a
RoHS-compliant emblem, as shown in
Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) Directive
The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste from
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) deals with the collection,
treatment, recovery, and recycling of electrical and electronic waste
products. The objective of the WEEE Directive is to assign the
responsibility for the disposal of associated hazardous waste to either
the producers or users of these products. Effective August 13, 2005,
producers or users are required to recycle electrical and electronic
equipment at end of its useful life, and may not dispose of the
equipment in landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some
EU member states may have different deadlines.)
In accordance with this EU Directive, companies selling electric or
electronic devices in the EU will affix labels indicating that such prod
ucts must be properly recycled. (See our website for more information.)
Contact your local sales representative for information on returning
these products for recycling. Equipment that complies with the EU
directive is marked with a WEEE-compliant emblem, as shown in
This product manual uses the following safety terms and symbols to
