EVM POSITION STATEMENT
Evaluation modules/kits (EVMs) are intended to be used for Engineering, Development, Demonstration or Evaluation purposes only and are
therefore not considered within the scope of the European Union directives regarding restricted substances (RoHS) and recycling (WEEE).
Regulatory compliance areas include those concerning product safety, environmental/product stewardship, functional/non-interference
requirements and governing wireless communications, unintentional radiators, etc.
EVMs are not considered finished products with a direct function as they require adjustments and connections to other electronic devices to
function. They are designed for use in laboratory/development environments by professional engineers familiar with the proper handling of
electrical components, including those with high voltage applications.
All EVM types of products shipped from Texas Instruments.
Though EVMs are considered outside of the scope of EU material restriction requirements, starting with the Conversion Date, TI's EVM
subcontractors have agreed to build EVM products with EU RoHS acceptable components and processes.
• Products that are shown with a "Y" under the "Available Supply" column have had all pre-conversion date inventories depleted and are
EU RoHS compliant. –
• Products that are shown with an "N" under the "Available Supply" column have pre-conversion date inventories left to be depleted and
are therefore not EU RoHS compliant.
• Products with "RoHS Exempt" under this column are EU RoHS exempt by using an applicable exemption(s).
As of August 2010 to make identification of RoHS compliant EVMs easier, TI has provided labels on the outer EVM.
