1.7 Environmental Protection Statement
This product has been manufactured to satisfy environmental protection requirements wherever possible. Many of the
components used (structural parts, printed circuit boards, connectors, batteries, etc.) are capable of being recycled.
Final disposal of this product after its service life must be accomplished in accordance with applicable country, state,
or local laws or regulations. All components within this product fulfill the requirements of the RoHS (Restriction of
Hazardous Substances Directive). The product is soldered using a lead-free process.
1.8 RoHS Commitment
Kontron Compact Computers AG (Switzerland) is committed to developing and producing environmentally friendly
products in accordance with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive (2002/95/EC) and the Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive (2002/96/EC) established by the European Union. The RoHS
directive was adopted in February 2003 by the European Union and came into effect on 1 July 2006. It is not a law but
a directive, which restricts the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacturing of various types of electronic and
electrical equipment. It is closely linked with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE)
2002/96/EC, which has set targets for the collection, recycling and recovery of electrical goods, and is part of a
legislative initiative to solve the problem of huge amounts of toxic e-waste.
Each European Union Member State is adopting its own enforcement and implementation policies using the Directive
as a guide. Therefore, there could be as many different versions of the law as there are Member States in the EU.
Additionally, non-EU countries like China, Japan, or states in the U.S. such as California, may have their own
regulations for green products, which are similar, but not identical, to the RoHS Directive.

MSM-LP / User Information
RoHS is often referred to as the "lead-free" directive, but it restricts the use of the following substances:
»Lead
»Mercury
»Cadmium
»Chromium VI
»PBB and PBDE
The maximum allowable concentration of any of the above-mentioned substances is 0.1% (except for cadmium, which
is limited to 0.01%) by weight of homogeneous material. This means that the limits do not apply to the weight of the
finished product, or even to a component, but to any single substance that could (theoretically) be separated
mechanically.
1.8.1 RoHS Compatible Product Design
All standard products from Kontron Compact Computers (KCC) AG comply with RoHS legislation.
Since July 1, 2006, there has been a strict adherence to the use of RoHS compliant electronic and mechanical
components during the design-in phase of all KCC AG standard products.
1.8.2 RoHS Compliant Production Process
KCC selects external suppliers that are capable of producing RoHS compliant devices verified by:
»A confirmation from the supplier indicating that their production processes and resulting devices are RoHS
compliant.
»If there is any doubt of RoHS compliancy, the concentration of the previously mentioned substances in a
produced device will be measured. These measurements are carried out by an accredited laboratory.
1.8.3 WEEE Application
The WEEE Directive is closely related to the RoHS Directive and applies to the following devices:
»Large and small household appliances
»IT equipment
»Telecommunications equipment (although infrastructure equipment is exempt in some countries)
»Consumer equipment
»Lighting equipment – including light bulbs
»Electronic and electrical tools
»Toys, leisure and sports equipment
»Automatic dispensers
It does not apply to fixed industrial plants and tools. Compliance is the responsibility of the company that brings the
product to market, as defined in the Directive. Components and sub-assemblies are not subject to product
compliance. In other words, since Kontron Compact Computers AG does not deliver ready-made products to end users,
the WEEE Directive is not applicable for KCC AG. Users are nevertheless encouraged to properly recycle all electronic
products that have reached the end of their life cycle.
