E.4 RoHS2 Compliance
Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive places rules upon European manufacturers
of electrical and electronic equipment. The directives’ aim is to reduce the impact that electronic
devices have on the environment.
According to the EC Directive 2002/95/EC, Michell Instruments’ products qualify as Category 9,
Control and Monitoring Equipment. Under the 2002/95/EC Directive, Category 9 products are exempt
from compliance with the Directive.
However, the careful design of all Michell Instruments’ products takes into consideration the
requirements of the Directive and, wherever possible, compliance is achieved. All future products
will be developed entirely using compliant materials. Furthermore, Michell Instruments is taking
active steps to remove non-compliant materials and components from existing products wherever
these may occur. Presently, none of the non-compliant materials are known to occur in Michell
Instruments’ products.
The new Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS2) entered into force on 21 July 2011 and required all Member
States to transpose the provisions into their respective national laws by 2 January 2013.
Under the provisions of the RoHS2 EU Directive 2011/65/EU (Article 3, [24]) defines ‘Control and
Monitoring Equipment’ specifically as ‘monitoring and control instruments designed exclusively for
industrial or professional use’.
RoHS2 EU Directive 2011/65/EU states the closing date for compliance of any Control and Monitoring
Equipment product sold into the EU market place as 22nd July 2017.
However, the careful design policy of all Michell Instruments’ products continues to attain compliance
in the shortest practical timescales and strives to ensure that less than 0.1% of total mass per
product, of all non-compliant materials, appear within them. Michell Instruments continues to
monitor suppliers and material sources to ensure that compliance of goods provided is maintained.
