Reduction of Hazardous
Substances
REACH directive
The REACH directive addresses the production and use of chemical substances, and their potential
impacts on both human health and the environment. On June 1, 2007, the European Commission promul-
gated new legislation that covers the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemical
within the European Union community. This new regulation is commonly known as REACH, an acronym
for
R egistration, E valuation and A uthorization of Ch emicals (EC Regulation 1907/2006).
GSI Electronics supports the underlying goals of REACH, which are consistent with our own commitment
to promote the responsible manufacturing, use and handling of chemicals. GSI Electronics uses and pro-
motes components suppliers or components manufacturers who will meet the pre-registration deadline
for all chemical substances in quantities greater than one metric ton. The information provided here is
accurate to the best of our knowledge at the present time.
RoHS directive
The R estriction o f H azardous S ubstances Directive 2002/95/EC, RoHS, Directive on the restriction of the
use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, was adopted in February
2003 by the European Union. The RoHS directive took effect on 1 July 2006, and is required to be
enforced and become law in each member state. This directive restricts (with exceptions) the use of six
hazardous materials in the manufacture of various types of electronic and electrical equipment: Lead
(Pb), Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), Poly-
brominated diphenyl ether (PBDE). The RoHS 2 directive (2011/65/EU) is an evolution of the original
directive and became law on 21 July 2011 and took effect 2 January 2013. It addresses the same sub-
stances as the original directive while improving regulatory conditions and legal clarity.
GSI Electronics hereby certifies that all components are RoHS Compliant and fulfills the definition and
restrictions defined under Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 8,
2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment
(EEE). The information provided here is accurate to the best of our knowledge at the present time.
The RoHS declaration is available, contact GSI Electronics or the European representative.
Battery directive
The Battery Directive, Directive 2006/66/EC (Previous Directive, Directive 91/157/EEC), of the European
Parliament regulates the manufacture, the disposal, the recycling of batteries and accumulators in the
European Union.
GSI Electronics uses Lithium cell button in a light industrial context or industrial context. GSI Electronics
encourages the batteries and accumulators recycling.
