CE Regulatory Compliance Statement
Where applicable, Checkpoint Systems, Inc. offers certain Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS)
products that have CE Declarations of Conformity according to R&TTE Directive 99/5/EC, EMC
Directive 2004/108/EC, and Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC.
System Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) has been tested and notified through Spectrum
Management Authorities if necessary, using accredited laboratories, whereby, conformity is declared
by voluntarily accepted European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standards EN

NOTE: Certain Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) equipment have been tested and found to
conform to the CE emission and immunity requirement in Europe. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Under
unusual circumstances, interference from external sources may degrade the system
performance, which may include intermittent decreases in detection and/or intermittent
increases in alarm activity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment experiences frequent interference from external sources
or does cause harmful interference to radio communications reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, please contact a Checkpoint Systems
representative for further assistance.
RoHS Compliance Statement
The RoHS Directive stands for "the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical
and electronic equipment." A RoHS compliant product means that electrical and electronic equipment
cannot contain more than maximum permitted levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent
chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE). Checkpoint is
in compliance with the RoHS directive.
WEEE Compliance Statement
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) applies to companies that
manufacture, sell, distribute, or treat electrical and electronic equipment in the European Union. There
are a number of obligations imposed on Checkpoint as a supplier of electrical and electronic
equipment. Checkpoint's compliance approach for each of these obligations is provided below.
