1.7 Environmental Protection Statement
This product has been manufactured to satisfy environmental protection requirements wherever possible. Many of the
components used (structural parts, printed circuit boards, connectors, batteries, etc.) are capable of being recycled.
Final disposal of this product after its service life must be accomplished in accordance with applicable country, state,
or local laws or regulations. All components within this product fulfill the requirements of the RoHS (Restriction of
Hazardous Substances Directive). The product is soldered with a lead free process.
1.8 RoHS Commitment
Kontron Compact Computers AG (Switzerland) is committed to develop and produce environmentally friendly products
according to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive (2002/95/EC) and the Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive (2002/96/EC) established by the European Union. The RoHS directive was
adopted in February 2003 by the European Union and came into effect on July 1, 2006. It is not a law but a directive,
which restricts the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacturing of various types of electronic and electrical
equipment. It is closely linked with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) 2002/96/EC,
which has set targets for collection, recycling and recovery of electrical goods and is part of a legislative initiative to
solve the problem of huge amounts of toxic e-waste.
Each European Union member state is adopting its own enforcement and implementation policies using the directive
as a guide. Therefore, there could be as many different versions of the law as there are states in the EU. Additionally,
non-EU countries like China, Japan, or states in the U.S. such as California may have their own regulations for green
products, which are similar, but not identical, to the RoHS directive.
