1.6.2 Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Compliance
Directive 2002/95/EC—commonly known as the European Union (EU) Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)—sets limits on the use of
certain substances found in electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of this legislation is to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals that
may leach out of landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the environment during end-of-life recycling. The Directive takes effect on July 1, 2006,
and it refers to the following hazardous substances:
1
Lead (Pb)
2
Mercury (Hg)
3
Cadmium (Cd)
4
Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)
5
Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
6
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
According to this EU Directive, all products sold in the European Union will be fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” (See our
visit our support web
sites:

and

, for more information on dates and deadlines for
compliance.) Spare parts supplied for the repair and upgrade of equipment sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the legislation. Equipment
that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a RoHS-compliant emblem, as shown in
Figure 1-1
