According to European Semiconductor Industry Association (ESIA) letter, "ESIA Response on WEEE Review (May 2008) of
the Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)"; Semiconductor products and evaluation and
demonstration boards are not in the scope of the Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Consequently aforementioned products do not have to be registered nor are they
subject to the subsequent obligations.
Notice applicable to Evaluation Boards not FCC-Approved
This kit is designed to allow:
1. Product developers to evaluate electronic components, circuitry, or software associated with the kit to determine whether to
incorporate such items in a finished product and
2. Software developers to write software applications for use with the end product.
This kit is not a finished product and when assembled may not be resold or otherwise marketed unless all required FCC
equipment authorizations are first obtained. Operation is subject to the condition that this product not cause harmful interference
to licensed radio stations and that this product accept harmful interference. Unless the assembled kit is designed to operate
under part 15, part 18 or part 95 of 47 CFR, Chapter I (“FCC Rules”), the operator of the kit must operate under the authority of
an FCC license holder or must secure an experimental authorization under part 5 of this chapter.
For Evaluation Boards annotated as FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) Part 15 Compliant
• FCC Interference Statement for Class A Evaluation Boards: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
