Material content compliance
European Union
The European Union (EU) Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) Directive [2002/95/EC and its recast
2011/65/EU] as amended restricts the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent
chromium, and polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in
electrical and electronic equipment. This Directive applies to electrical and electronic
products placed on the EU market after 1 July 2006, with various exemptions, including
an exemption for lead solder in network infrastructure equipment. Alcatel-Lucent
products shipped to the EU after 1 July 2006 comply with the EU RoHS Directive.
EU REACH
On June 1, 2007, European Regulation No 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation,
Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) entered into force. Under REACH,
companies operating in the EU may face certain obligations as manufacturers, importers
and/or downstream users.
Alcatel-Lucent complies with the current requirements of REACH. In particular, Article
33 of REACH requires suppliers to inform the recipients and consumers if an article
received contains more than 0.1% (by weight per article) of any substance(s) on the
Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) candidate list. Alcatel-Lucent has verified the
use of substances listed on the candidate list of Substances of Very High Concern as
published on the ECHA website. Based on information received from our supply chain
we have no indication that any of the listed substances are present in any of our products,
subassemblies or expansion items over 0.1% weight for weight. We will continue to
monitor the status of the candidate list as part of our ongoing compliance activities.
