| The RoHS Directive and the UK RoHS regulations came into force in July 2006. It covers "the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment". |
 |
RoHS bans the introduction of new electrical
and electronic equipment to the EU market containing higher than agreed levels of such hazardous substances. |
|
| The hazardous substances and their maximum allowed concentrations as defined under RoHS are listed below: |
|
- Cadmium (Cd) and its compounds < 0.01%
- Lead (Pb) and its compounds < 0.1%
- Mercury and Chromium (Cr6+) < 0.1%
- Polybrominated Biphenyl (PBB) < 0.1%
- Polybrominated Biphenyl Ether(PBDE)< 0.1%
|
|
|
There are a number of exemptions for the use of such hazardous substances for specific technical applications where alternatives do not
currently exist. |
|
| H K Wentworth Ltd trading as Electrolube, is fully aware of the requirements of RoHS and is committed to providing a fully compliant product range. All products in the Electrolube portfolio for use in the electronics industry are RoHS compliant, unless otherwise specified as exempt. |
