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,
which took effect on July 1, 2006, refers to the following hazardous substances:

Lead (Pb)

Mercury (Hg)

Cadmium (Cd)

Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)

Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)

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 website 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 P-1 .

Equipment (WEEE)
Compliance
The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste from Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) deals with the collection, treatment, recovery, and
recycling of electrical and electronic waste products. The objective of the WEEE
Directive is to assign the responsibility for the disposal of associated hazardous
waste to either the producers or users of these products. Effective August 13,
2005, producers or users will be required to recycle electrical and electronic
equipment at end of its useful life, and may not dispose of the equipment in
landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some EU member states may
have different deadlines.)
