Restriction On Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC
What is RoHS?
The European Union has mandated that high environmental
standards be met in the design and manufacture of electronic and
electrical products sold in Europe, to reduce hazardous substanc-
es from entering the environment.
The “Restriction on Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS)”
prescribes the maximum trace levels of lead, cadmium, mercury,
hexavalent chromium, and ame retardants PBB and PBDE that
may be contained in a product. Only products meeting these
high environmental standards may be “placed on the market” in
EU member states after July 1, 2006.
RoHS Logo
Although there is no legal requirement to mark the RoHS-com-
pliant products, Psion Teklogix Inc. indicates its compliance
with the directive as follows:
The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or un-
derneath the battery in the battery compartment (or on a related
accessory such as the charger or docking station) signies that
the product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU directive. Other
than as noted below, a Psion Teklogix product that does not have
an accompanying RoHS logo signies that it was placed on the
EU market prior to July 1, 2006, and is thereby exempt from the
directive.
