PRODUCTS CONFORMING TO RoHS DIRECTIVE
Following products described in this manual are products conforming to RoHS directive.
•MCP-300 Master Control Panel
Products conforming to RoHS directive include products that do not contain specified hazardous
substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB)
and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) in electrical and electronic equipment excluding following
exemption applications based on the EU directive.
The RoHS directive stands for “the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in
Electrical and Electronic Equipment” and is one of environmental directives in Europe. This directive
restricts the use of specified hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
