RoHS Directive

What is the RoHS Directive?
Directive 2002/95/EC or Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) has been adopted by the European Union and prohibits the use of six hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products put on the market after July 1, 2006. The six materials called out by the RoHS directive are: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and the flame retardants PBDE (polybrominated diphenyl ether) and PBB (polybrominated biphenyl).

What happens if my product contains one of these six hazardous materials?
A product that exceeds the maximum levels allowed by the directive cannot be sold in the European Union after July 1, 2006. Remember that many other countries are developing their own version of RoHS – Japan, China, and Canada (just to name a few) will have their own restrictions (possibly with different maximum limits) in place in the future.

Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

Will the products I buy from Edmund Optics comply with the RoHS Directive?
The optical components in our catalog are deemed to be compliant in accordance with the maximum concentration values issued by the European Union Technical Adaptation Committee (TAC) or by exemptions stated in 2005/747/EC Annex 13 which allows the use of lead and cadmium in optical and filter glass. However, non-optical components are still being reviewed and we will be posting compliance information on the website product pages as it becomes available. For urgent requests, please email RoHS@edmundoptics.com and we will address your items as soon as possible.
