Product Compliance
Product Compliance
duagon products are tested according to the standards given in the Technical Data and
thus enable you to achieve certification of the product according to the standards
applicable in your field of application.
If the product delivered was certified by duagon and is modified by the customer, e.g., by
installing an additional hardware component, the certification achieved by duagon
becomes invalid and may have to be repeated for the new product configuration.
RoHS
duagon is committed to develop and produce environmentally compatible products
according to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2011/65/EU
(formerly 2002/95/EC) of the European Union.
Since July 1, 2006 all duagon standard products comply with RoHS legislation.
REACH
duagon is a manufacturer of electronic products and thus a so-called "downstream
user" in terms of REACH. The products duagon supplies are solely non-chemical goods.
Moreover and under normal and reasonably foreseeable circumstances of application,
the goods supplied shall not release any substance.
Beyond that, according to REACH – Art.33, duagon will inform the customer immediately
should a substance contained in a duagon product (with a content of > 0.1%) be
classified alarming by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
WEEE Application
Nevertheless, duagon is registered as a manufacturer in Germany. The registration
number can be provided on request.
The WEEE directive does not apply to fixed industrial plants and tools. The
compliance is the responsibility of the company which puts the product
on the market, as defined in the directive; components and sub-
assemblies are not subject to product compliance.
Since duagon does not deliver ready-made products to end users, the
WEEE directive is not applicable for duagon. Users are nevertheless
recommended to properly recycle all electronic boards which have passed
their life cycle.
