Directives and Compliances
This section provides information concerning Harris Broadcast compliance with EU Directive
2002/95/EC and EU Directive 2002/96/EC.
Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
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)
In accordance with this EU Directive, products sold in the European Union will be fully
RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” 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 symbol, as shown in
Figure P-2 .

Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
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. As of August 13, 2005, producers or users are required to recycle
electrical and electronic equipment at end of its useful life, and must not dispose of the
equipment in landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some EU member states
may have different deadlines.)
In accordance with this EU Directive, companies selling electric or electronic devices in the
EU will affix labels indicating that such products must be properly recycled. Contact your
local Sales representative for information on returning these products for recycling.
Equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a WEEE-compliant
symbol, as shown in
Figure P-3 .
