complying to a new and higher standard
At Microboard Processing, we consider RoHS compliance an inherent part of our design process. Restriction of Hazardous Substances, often referred to as the Lead-Free Directive, is certain to have a huge impact on the electronics industries.
As the RoHS deadline looms, companies that have not begun the process of becoming RoHS compliant are behind the curve. The European deadline is July
1, 2006, and other countries follow soon thereafter.
Component manufacturers are already discontinuing non-compliant parts, and every electronic product is impacted. Lead-free conversion must begin now,
The RoHS Directive (EU Directive 2002/95/EG) will go into affect on July 1, 2006 in Europe, mandating that electrical and electronic products (EEE) put in the market within the European Union (EU) shall contain restrictive levels of the following substances:
This Directive, which aims to protect human health and the environment and mirrors the Directive on
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), applies to electrical and electronic equipment that is dependent on electric or electromagnetic fields in order to work properly. It also applies to some equipment used for the generation, transfer, and measurement of such currents and fields designed for use with a voltage rating not exceeding 1,000 volts for alternating current (AC) and 1,500 volts for direct current (DC).
1. Lead (Pb)
2. Cadmium (Cd)
3. Mercury (Hg)
4. Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+)
5. Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
6. Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
