RoHS Policy

The purpose of European Union (EU) Directive 2002/95/EC is to reduce the waste management problems linked to substances likely to pose risks to personal health and the environment. The RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive specifically addresses the reduction of use and ultimate prohibition of the following substances in electrical and electronic products:

• Lead
• Cadmium
• Hexavalent Chromium
• Mercury
• PBBs (Polybrominated biphenyls)
• PBDEs (Polybrominated diphenyl ethers)

The RoHS and equivalent directives avoid the use of these hazardous substances in products placed into the European market to take effect from July 1 st 2006

A.i. Scientific supports this initiative and all new products supplied to the market will meet these requirements.
