RoHS & WEEE Compliance
The European Union approved a directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in
electrical and electronic equipment. This directive is commonly known as RoHS, EU Directive 2002/95/EC.
This directive severely limits the amount of lead and 5 other substances that can be in contained in
nonexempt products. The directive became European law in February 2003 and took effect July 1, 2006.
It is likely that other countries outside the European Union and some states in the United States may adopt
similar legislation.
There are a number of important exemptions that affect many of our customers. The most important of these
is Category 9, Control and Monitoring Instruments. You may wish to review your situation to see if this
exemption applies to you. Military, medical and some other products are also exempt. We suggest that you
make an appropriate assessment concerning your products.
The dspblok 21469 is RoHS compliant.
The dspblok 21469 is a subcomponent of a larger system; therefore it is not subject to the WEEE directive EU
Directive 2002/96/EC.
