RoHS
(Restriction of Hazardous Substances)
Directive Compliance
Statement |
|

June 1, 2011
|
|||||
|
|||||
The
European
Union has issued two directives to reduce waste arising from
electrical and electronic equipment and for improved
environmental performance during the life cycle of electrical
and electronic products:
|
|||||
|
|||||
|
♦ |
RoHS -
2002/95/EC:
Directive on the Restriction of the use of Certain Hazardous
Substances in Electrical & Electronic Equipment
|
|
||
|
|||||
|
♦ |
WEEE -
2002/96/EC:
Directive on Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment. |
|
||
|
|||||
The RoHS
Directive states that from July 1, 2006 forward, new electrical
and electronic equipment shipped into the marketplace shall not
contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium,
polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDE).
|
|||||
|
|||||
Since
early-2006, Elite Electronics has been in compliance with these
comprehensive directives. Since that time, we have
identified more than 50 controlled materials.
Because many of these materials have long been regarded
by the electronics and telecommunications industries as
potential health hazards (e.g., polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),
asbestos, et cetera); Elite’s procedures for complying with
these more stringent worldwide materials requirements was
already in place and well established.
|
|||||
|
|||||
Elite’s
goal is and, will continue to be, to achieve compliance for all
controlled materials. Elite achieved full RoHS
compliance on June 30, 2006. All electronic and/or fiber
optic components, subassemblies, assemblies, systems or hardware
component inventory items manufactured and/or purchased by Elite
Electronics after this date have been in compliance with RoHS
and WEEE requirements. Since June 30, 2006, Elite has
required our suppliers to provide RoHS - 2002/95/EC Directive
proof of compliance for all shipments. Unless otherwise
stated at the time of purchase, all orders shipped by Elite
Electronics after July 31, 2006, have been cadmium, mercury,
lead, hexavalent chromium and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE/PBB)
free as directed by the RoHS - 2002/95/EC Directive dated
January 27, 2003.
|
|||||
|
|||||
Elite
Electronics has been and, continues to be, actively engaged with
our supplier-base to define a cost-effective compliance
methodology for all purchased materials that meet or exceed the
European Union’s
(EU)
RoHS and WEEE Directives and/or similar requirements as adopted
for the United States and other world markets. Our global
supply-chain system now clearly identifies all bills of
materials (BOMs) based on their applicable compliance
requirements. In those instances, primarily military
applications, where compliance has not been implemented, Elite’s
engineering and quality assurance teams are working closely with
our customers and the controlling agencies to affect mutually
acceptable and cost-effective solutions.
|
|||||
|
|||||
Elite
Electronics has been in full compliance with the RoHS -
2002/95/EC and WEEE - 2002/96/EC Directives since June 30,
2006. Should you have any questions or should you require
any additional information, please contact us.

Thank
you for your continued interest in Elite Electronics and for
your business.
