APPENDIX B
B.4 RoHS2 Compliance
Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive places rules upon European manufacturers
of electrical and electronic equipment. The directives’ aim is to reduce the impact that electronic
devices have on the environment.
According to the EC Directive 2002/95/EC, Michell Instruments’ products qualify as Category 9,
Control and Monitoring Equipment. Under the 2002/95/EC Directive, Category 9 products are exempt
from compliance with the Directive.
However, the careful design of all Michell Instruments’ products takes into consideration the
requirements of the Directive and, wherever possible, compliance is achieved. All future products
will be developed entirely using compliant materials. Furthermore, Michell Instruments is taking
active steps to remove non-compliant materials and components from existing products wherever
these may occur. Presently, none of the non-compliant materials are known to occur in Michell
Instruments’ products.
The new Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS2) entered into force on 21 July 2011 and required all Member
States to transpose the provisions into their respective national laws by 2 January 2013.
Under the provisions of the RoHS2 EU Directive 2011/65/EU (Article 3, [24]) denes ‘Control and
Monitoring Equipment’ specically as ‘monitoring and control instruments designed exclusively for
industrial or professional use’.
RoHS2 EU Directive 2011/65/EU states the closing date for compliance of any Control and Monitoring

APPENDIX B
B.6 REACH Compliance
Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006
Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)
Michell Instruments is a manufacturer of moisture measurement and gas analysis instrumentation
and is a ‘downstream’ user of chemicals, as described by the EU Council Directive 76/769/EEC. The
products we supply are not raw chemical products (goods).
Under normal and reasonably foreseeable circumstances of application, the goods supplied to you
shall not contain or release any prohibited chemicals. No listed SVHC (Substances of Very High
Concern) appear within products manufactured by Michell Instruments. Therefore the 0.1% mass
per product, or total usage of 1 tonne/year, will never be exceeded. For these reasons we are neither
required by obligation for registration nor for the creation of material safety data sheets (MSDS) for
our products.
Our continued review of the SVHC Candidate List and latest additions is to ensure we remain
compliant.
Michell Instruments maintains a hazardous material register in which MSDS data sheets are collated,
and we will check that our suppliers will comply to REACH requirements for all materials and
substances we use in the processes of our manufacturing.
In the unlikely event that any chemicals of concern appear in our products in quantities greater than
0.1% of total mass per product we will immediately inform you by correspondence according to the
REACH Article 33 requirements. Our current appraisal is, however, that we do not expect or foresee
such an incidence.

Recommended Practices

HygroSmart I7000XP User’s Manual

APPENDIX C
Appendix C Recommended Practices in Humidity Measurements
The following text is reproduced with kind permission from the National Physical Laboratory. It is originally published in
the booklet, A Guide to the Measurement of Humidity.
Denition of Relative Humidity
Relative Humidity – The ratio of the actual vapor pressure to the saturation vapor pressure over a plane
liquid water surface at the same temperature, expressed as a percentage. This is commonly understood when
the term ‘X percent relative humidity’ is used.
For actual vapor pressure, e, and saturation vapor pressure, es
e
relative humidity (in %) = ––– x 100
es
USAGE: The phrase ‘relative humidity’ is commonly abbreviated RH although this is not a recognized
abbreviation. Values of relative humidity are commonly expressed in units of percent relative humidity (% RH).
Recommended practices in humidity measurements
General practical recommendations
• Where relative humidity is of interest, a direct measurement of relative humidity is usually
best. Where an absolute measure of humidity is needed, choose dew point, vapor pressure
or similar measurements.
• Establish the measurement requirements at the purchasing stage in order to have the
right instrument for the job.
• Allow hygrometers to equilibrate in any new environment. This is particularly necessary
after changes in temperature due to transportation or storage. Depending on the instrument
and on how great the change in conditions, this may require from only a few minutes to
many hours.
• Follow Michell Instruments’ care instructions for the instrument. Some instruments need
routine cleaning or other maintenance. Before using any solvent cleaner, check with Michell
Instruments that this will not harm the sensor or other materials of construction.
• Wherever possible, ensure that hygrometers are calibrated under the conditions of use,
i.e. at similar values of humidity and temperature, and (if relevant) in similar conditions of
pressure, airow, etc.
• Keep a record of calibrations and any adjustments to the hygrometer. This will show the
long-term stability of the instrument and allow the associated uncertainty to be assessed.
• Check instruments, if possible, at intervals between calibrations, by comparison with
another (stable) instrument, to monitor for long-term drift. Routine checks are also useful
before and after subjecting an instrument to transportation or other stress, which might
lead to a shift in its performance. Where the check is against two (or more) instruments
this is even better: not only does this add condence, but in the event of one instrument
drifting among a set of three, it can be seen which reading is most suspect.
• Cleanliness of the environment will affect different hygrometers in different ways. Dust
and airborne droplets should be avoided or ltered out if possible. Contaminants can come
from the most surprising sources, ordinary urban pollution, for example.
• The readings given by some types of hygrometer are sensitive to gas type. For any
Instrument which reads in terms of mass per unit volume, e.g. in grams per cubic metre,
it must be conrmed whether the calibration is valid for the gas in use.
• Avoid using instruments in direct sunlight or near any other source of heat, unless they
are suitably shielded to prevent measurement errors.
