| The RoHS directive restricts the use of certain hazardous substances commonly used in the |
| manufacturing of electronic equipment and requires producers of electronic equipment to reduce the |
| concentration of these hazardous materials which include: |
| |
| |
| Lead |
| Cadmium |
| Mercury |
| Hexavalent Chromium |
| Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB) |
| Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) |
| |
| |
| The RoHS directive states that as of July 1, 2006, electrical and electronic equipment manufacturers |
| must eliminate the use of all of the above materials. Although RoHS is a European Union (EU) |
| Directive, manufacturers of EEE outside Europe must also abide by this legislation if the equipment |
| they produce is ultimately imported into an EU member state. |
