Electromagnetic compliance
Seagate uses an independent laboratory to confirm compliance with the directives/standards for CE Marking and RCM Marking. The

test platforms.
Although the test system with this Seagate model complies with the directives/standards, we cannot guarantee that all systems will
comply. The computer manufacturer or system integrator shall confirm EMC compliance and provide the appropriate marking for
their product.

2.1.4
European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive restricts the presence of chemical substances, including
Lead (Pb), in electronic products effective July 2006.
A number of parts and materials in Seagate products are procured from external suppliers. We rely on the representations of our
suppliers regarding the presence of RoHS substances in these parts and materials. Our supplier contracts require compliance with
our chemical substance restrictions, and our suppliers document their compliance with our requirements by providing material
content declarations for all parts and materials for the disk drives documented in this publication. Current supplier declarations
include disclosure of the inclusion of any RoHS-regulated substance in such parts or materials.
Seagate also has internal systems in place to ensure ongoing compliance with the RoHS Directive and all laws and regulations which
restrict chemical content in electronic products. These systems include standard operating procedures that ensure that restricted
substances are not utilized in our manufacturing operations, laboratory analytical validation testing, and an internal auditing process
to ensure that all standard operating procedures are complied with.
