RoHS Compliant
RoHS
Effective July 1st, 2006, European Union has required electronic products entering
the European Union market to be free of six specific hazardous substances,
(lead,mercury,cadmium,chromium VI) and the fire retardants (PBB & PBDE). Together
these regulations are referred to as the "Restriction of Hazardous Substances" or
"RoHS directive". The intended results of this legislation is to reduce the amount of
these substances that are eventually returned to the environment when electronic
products are discarded.
