ROHS - A great Contribution to the Conservation of Environment
Dear Customer,
The European Union has adopted a directive on the restriction / prohibition of the use of hazardous
substances. This directive, referred to as ROHS, is a frequently discussed topic in the electronic industry.
It restricts, among other things, six materials: Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (CR VI),
cadmium (Cd), polybrimated biphenyls as flame retardant (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl, also a flame
retardant (PBDE). The directive applies to nearly all electronic and electrical devices whose mode of operation
involves electric or electromagnetic fields
– in short: each kind of electronics we have around us in our
households or at work.
As manufacturers of products of the brands of AMERICAN AUDIO, ADJ, ELATION Professional and
ACCLAIM Lighting, we are obligated to comply with the RoHS directive. Therefore, as early as two years prior
to the directive coming into force, we started our search for alternative environmentally friendly materials and
manufacturing processes.
Well before the RoHS directive took effect, all of our products were manufactured meeting the standards of the
European Union. With regular audits and material tests we can still assure that the components we use are
always RoHS-compliant and that the manufacturing process, as far as the state of technology allows, is
environmentally friendly.
The ROHS directive is an important step to the protection of our environment. We, as manufactures, feel
obligated to make our contribution in this respect.
