2.12.3 Taiwan Requirements — Taiwan RoHS
Taiwan RoHS refers to the Taiwan Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection’s (BSMI) requirements in standard CNS 15663,
Guidance to reduction of the restricted chemical substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Seagate products must comply
with the “Marking of presence” requirements in Section 5 of CNS 15663, effective January 1, 2018. This product is Taiwan RoHS
compliant.
The following table meets the Section 5 “Marking of presence” requirements.
2.13
Corrosive environment
Seagate electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing equivalent to 10 years exposure to light industrial
environments containing sulfurous gases, chlorine and nitric oxide, classes G and H per ASTM B845. However, this accelerated testing
cannot duplicate every potential application environment.
Users should use caution exposing any electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corrosive chemicals as
electronic drive component reliability can be affected by the installation environment. The silver, copper, nickel and gold films used
in hard disk drives are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the
most damaging. Materials used in cabinet fabrication, such as vulcanized rubber, that can outgas corrosive compounds should be
minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any electronic equipment may be extended by replacing materials near circuitry with
sulfide-free alternatives.
Seagate recommends that data centers be kept clean by monitoring and controlling the dust and gaseous contamination. Gaseous
contamination should be within ANSI/ISA S71.04-2013 G2 classification levels (as measured on copper and silver coupons), and dust
contamination to ISO 14644-1 Class 8 standards, and MTBF rated conditions as defined in the Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and
Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) section.
