		The RoHS Directive stands for "the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment".
		The RoHS Directive and the UK RoHS regulations came into force on 1 July 2006.
		We are now delivering RoHS enforcement since the regulations were fully implemented on the 1st July 2006.

	EC Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment ...
		The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) aims to minimise the environmental impact of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) by reducing the quantities of four heavy metals and two brominated flame retardants which it may contain.
		The RoHS directive draws its scope from the WEEE Directive and applies to categories 1-7 and 10 listed under Annex 1A of the Directive plus electric light bulbs and household luminaires.
		The exemptions approved by the TAC in June 2006 were published in the EC Official Journal on 12 October 2006.

	APEM Switches, Joysticks and Membranes RoHS
		RoHS, the European Parliament directive 2002/95/EC titled Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment, provides for the elimination of specific substances used in electrical and electronic equipment that are deemed to pose health and environment risks.
		The high conductivity and low contact resistance is close to that of silver yet it exhibits superior erosion and welding resistance compared to silver, due to the inherent arc-quenching characteristics of cadmium oxide.
		The RoHS directive has forced PCB and component manufacturers towards "lead free" processing, producing two challenges for the switch industry; the elimination of lead and the modification of product designs to ensure switches can withstand the higher temperatures associated with new lead-free solder processing.

		In Europe, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) will have cradle-to-grave responsibility for their products, having not only to collect and recover all non-compliant products, but also to pay for the treatment and recycling of all affected products.
		Tackling RoHS and WEEE concerns will be particularly difficult for small- and medium-size companies that must follow the same guidelines, but which don't have the same resources, as the largest electronic companies.
		Mentor Graphics is committed to enabling our customers to meet the RoHS and WEEE directives, offering tool support that can help manufacturers ensure compliance throughout the design process.

		RoHS, lead-free legislation, or to use its accurate but somewhat lengthy title "Directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment", will be enforced throughout the European Community from 1st July 2006.
		Its aim is simple — to remove a total of six substances from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), thereby contributing to the protection of human health and the environment.
		Although RoHS is a European Union (EU) Directive, manufacturers of EEE outside Europe must also abide by this legislation if the equipment they produce is ultimately imported into a EU member state.

		Aladdin's RoHS policy and transition plan is described in its RoHS Conversion Plan.
		Aladdin wishes to protect and improve the environment wherever possible and so fully supports this reduction of toxic substances that could reach the environment when such equipment is disposed of in landfill sites.
		Aladdin follows the RoHS Directive (Directive 2002/95/EC) defined by EU and considers a product to be RoHS-compliant if the maximum concentration value is up to 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials for lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, brominated flame retardants (PBBs and PBDEs), and is up to 0.01% by weight in homogeneous materials for cadmium.
