RoHS

Since July 1, 2006 all MEN standard products comply with RoHS legislation.

Since January 2005 the SMD and manual soldering processes at MEN have already been completely lead-free.
Between June 2004 and June 30, 2006 MEN’s selected component suppliers have changed delivery to RoHS-
compliant parts. During this period any change and status was traceable through the MEN ERP system and the
boards gradually became RoHS-compliant.

WEEE Application

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.

In other words: Since MEN does not deliver ready-made products to end users, the WEEE directive is not
applicable for MEN. Users are nevertheless recommended to properly recycle all electronic boards which have
passed their life cycle.

Nevertheless, MEN is registered as a manufacturer in Germany. The registration number can be provided on
request.
