RoHS
Implementation
The Restriction of the Use of
Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Regulations 2005 has banned the placing on the EU market of new electrical and
electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium,
mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and
polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants from 1 July 2006.
We identified at an early
stage the importance of complying with the RoHS Directive and initiated a
compliance programme with our suppliers. We continue to work with them to
ensure that both our current, and future, product ranges are compliant,
however, not all of our stocks of them are yet. Unless specifically advised
otherwise by you, we intend to continue to supply such products because we
recognise that some of the products we sell fall outside the scope of the
RoHS Directive and that others may be used in exempt applications.
Nonetheless if your
application requires RoHS compliant product please be sure to specify this
at the point of ordering.
We will continue to monitor
the implementation of the RoHS Directive and will add information to our
website over the coming months.
