RoHs Directive (2002/95/EC) Compliance 21 February 2005
The 2002/95/CE directive, also known as RoHs, provides for the prohibition and limitation of use of lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium (VI) as well as some flame retardants within electric and electronic equipment with validity starting from 1st July 2006.
Comelit Spa is affected by this directive as a user of ST-Pb alloys for soldering during its internal production cycles, such alloys containing less than 40% lead. Comelit Spa has already identified, obtained and tested new soldering alloys based on Sn-Cu or Sn-Ag-Cu declared by the suppliers as alloys for a Pb-free process.
Comelit Spa declares with the following that all products constructed with production batches dated after 1st September 2005 will conform with the RoHS directive.
WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC)
The EU Directive 2002/96/EC defines the recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipment. Therefore Comelit Spa, as a supplier of semi-finished products destined to be used in our client's equipment is not subject to this directive. |
