RoHS Statement
RoHS COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The European Union (EU) has adopted Directive no. 2002/95/EC, also known as the “RoHS Directive” (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive, which became effective in 2002 and later recast in 2011 as Directive no. 2011/65/EU which also introduced additional requirements for Declaration of Conformity and associated CE Markings. Further amendments under EU Directive 2015/863/EU introduced phthalate restrictions, which will come into force on 22 July 2019 and similar RoHS-type legislation is evolving in a number of other countries worldwide.
