Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
Directive 2002/95/EC—commonly known as the European Union (EU)
Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)—sets limits on the use of certain
substances found in electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of this
legislation is to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals that may leach out of
landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the environment during end-of-life
recycling. The Directive, which took effect on July 1, 2006, refers to the
following hazardous substances:
• Lead (Pb)
•Mercury(Hg)
• Cadmium (Cd)
• Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)
• Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
• Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
In accordance with this EU Directive, products sold in the European Union will
be fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” (See our website for more
information.) Spare parts supplied for the repair and upgrade of equipment sold
before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the legislation. Equipment that complies
with the EU directive will be marked with a RoHS-compliant symbol, as shown
in Figure P-3-1.

Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) Directive
The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste from Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) deals with the collection, treatment, recovery,
and recycling of electrical and electronic waste products. The objective of the
WEEE Directive is to assign the responsibility for the disposal of associated
hazardous waste to either the producers or users of these products. As of August
13, 2005, producers or users are required to recycle electrical and electronic
equipment at end of its useful life, and must not dispose of the equipment in
landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some EU member states may
have different deadlines.)
In accordance with this EU Directive, companies selling electric or electronic
devices in the EU will affix labels indicating that such products must be
properly recycled. (See our website for more information.) Contact your local
Sales representative for information on returning these products for recycling.
Equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a
WEEE-compliant symbol, as shown in Figure P-3-2.
