About RoHS and WEEE

The European Union (EU) Directive on the Restriction of use of certain Hazardous Substances prohibits the use of six substances in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market after July 1, 2006. The six substances are: Cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) as well as lead (Pb). While the industry has adopted the terminology of Òlead freeÓ in relation to RoHS, removing lead alone will not achieve RoHS compliance. The RoHS directive affects anyone who:

• Manufactures and sells electrical and electronic equipment under their own brand
• Resells under their own brand equipment produced by other suppliers
• Imports or exports electrical and electronic equipment on a professional basis into a member state

The Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive focuses on the best available treatment, recovery and recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. Producers will be required to provide information on components and materials used in their products to enable treatment facilities, re-use centers and recycling amenities to disassemble, re-use and recycle them. Producers will also be required to provide information to treatment facilities to identify specific components and materials in the equipment that must be removed.
