RoHS, The Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and
Electronic Equipment Directive (2002/95/EC) is a European Union legal
requirement affecting the global electronics industry. RoHS requirements
must be implemented on Lenovo products placed on the market after June
2006. Products on the market before June 2006 are not required to have
RoHS compliant parts. If the original FRU parts are non-compliant,
replacement parts can also be non-compliant. In all cases if the original
FRU parts are RoHS compliant, the replacement part must also be RoHS
compliant.
Note:
RoHS
and
non
‐
RoHS
FRU
part
numbers
with
the
same
fit
and
function
are
identified
with
unique
FRU
part
numbers.
Lenovo
plans
to
transit
to
RoHS
compliance
well
before
the
implementation
date
and
expects
its
suppliers
to
be
ready
to
support
Lenovo’s
requirements
and
schedule
in
the
EU.
Products
sold
in
2005
and
2006
will
contain
some
RoHS
compliant
FRUs.
The
following
statement
pertains
to
these
products
and
any
product
Lenovo
produces
containing
RoHS
compliant
FRUs.
RoHS
compliant
FRUs
have
unique
FRU
part
numbers.
Before
or
after
the
RoHS
implementation
date,
failed
RoHS
compliant
parts
must
always
be
replaced
with
RoHS
compliant
ones,
so
only
the
FRUs
identified
as
compliant
in
the
system
HMM
or
direct
substitutions
for
those
FRUs
may
be
used.
Note:
A
direct
substitution
is
a
part
with
a
different
FRU
part
number
that
is
automatically
shipped
by
the
distribution
center
at
the
time
of
the
order.
