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 takes effect on
July 1, 2006, and it 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, all products sold in the European
Union will be fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” (See our Web site,
www.broadcast.harris.com/leitch
, 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 symbol, as shown in
Figure P-1.
