COMPLIANCE:
Currently there are global concerns over many electronic products getting into landfills, causing contamination of ground water and other environmental issues. By restricting certain heavy metals, it reduces contamination and makes the product more economically feasible to recycle.
On January 27, 2003, the European Union established directives known as WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and RoHS (Restriction of certain Hazardous Substances). These directives will affect all electronic products that will be imported into the EU. These directives go into full affect July 1, 2006. Other countries are currently working on their versions of these legislations such as Japan's "green laws", California's Proposition 65, and China's version is still being developed.
The WEEE portion of the directives mandates the collection and treatment of electronic and electrical equipment at end-of-life. This portion of the legislation will go into affect August 13, 2005.
RoHS (Restriction of certain Hazardous Substances) The RoHS section of the directive bans the sale of electrical and electronic products containing specific materials as below: Lead, Mercury, Chromium, Cadmium, Brominated flame retardants
Only compliant materials can be sold as of July 1, 2006.
All companies that make, sell, or distributes products into countries with enacted laws must comply with those local laws. |
