Statement on the `RoHS` Directive
|
|
|
The European Union has adopted a new directive, the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, which will restrict the use of certain substances in electrical and electronic products, including lead (Pb), mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and certain halide-containing flame retardants.
The directive applies to all electrical and electronic products, and their component parts, placed on the market after 1st July 2006.
Mobile Expertise Ltd is committed to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including the restriction of hazardous substances in electronic products.
The RoHS Directive specifies that an electronic product or component may not contain a listed substance except as specifically provided for in the directive.
Me`s aim has always been to comply with the RoHS Directive prior to the 1st July 2006 implementation date for all products, and to enable this, all production shipped from manufacturing plants from the end of July 2006 has been compliant.
Mobile Expertise has done extensive research on substitute materials to ensure that any alternatives used do not compromise product quality or safety.
In addition, for some time, Mobile Expertise has been working with our supply chain partners and others in the industry, including material and component suppliers, to ensure every aspect of our business accommodates these new requirements.
The RoHS logo
In order to ensure that RoHS-compliant components can be identified as simply as possible, Mobile Expertise Ltd has introduced the logo you see below. Once we have checked that a product conforms to RoHS 2002/95/EC the logo will be printed on the website and declared in the data sheet.
