RoHS
Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS)
became European Law in February 2003. This directive
restricts the use of six hazardous materials in the
manufacture of various types of electronic and electrical
equipment. It is closely linked with the Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE), which sets
collection, recycling and recovery targets for electrical
goods and is part of a legislative initiative to solve the
problem of huge amounts of toxic e-waste.
RoHS restricts the use of the following six substances:
• Lead
• Mercury
• Cadmium
• Chromium VI (also known as hexavalent chromium)
• PBB
• PBDE
Throughout 2007 Eaton will be updating our domestic and international products to meet RoHS and WEEE
standards. As part of this process all Powerware product part numbers will be changed. We will implement these
changes in stages and will continuously send our partners rollout updates via e-mail. In addition, the online version of
the price book and reference guide on the UPS Salesweb will be continuously updated and will be the most accurate
source for product numbers and prices.
