EU Directives WEEE and RoHS
To Our Valued Customers:
We are committed to being a good corporate citizen. As part of that commitment,
we strive to maintain an environmentally conscious manufacturing operation. The
European Union (EU) has enacted two Directives, the first on product recycling
(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, WEEE) and the second limiting the use
of certain substances (Restriction on the use of Hazardous Substances, RoHS).
Over time, these Directives will be implemented in the national laws of each EU
Member State.
Once the final national regulations have been put into place, recycling will be offered
for our products which are within the scope of the WEEE Directive. Products falling
under the scope of the WEEE Directive available for sale after August 13, 2005 will
be identified with a “wheelie bin” symbol.
Two Categories of products covered by the WEEE Directive are currently exempt
from the RoHS Directive – Category 8, medical devices (with the exception of
implanted or infected products) and Category 9, monitoring and control instruments.
Most of our products fall into either Category 8 or 9 and are currently exempt from
the RoHS Directive. We will continue to monitor the application of the RoHS
Directive to its products and will comply with any changes as they apply.
