1.8.1 RoHS Compatible Product Design
All Kontron Compact Computers (KCC) AG standard products comply with RoHS legislation.
Since July 1, 2006, there has been a strict adherence to the use of RoHS compliant electronic and mechanical
components during the design-in phase of all KCC AG standard products.
1.8.2 RoHS Compliant Production Process
Kontron Compact Computers AG selects external suppliers that are capable of producing RoHS compliant devices.
These capabilities are verified by:
»
A confirmation from the supplier indicating that their production processes and resulting devices are RoHS
compliant.
»
If there is any doubt of the RoHS compliancy, the concentration of the previously mentioned substances in a
produced device will be measured. These measurements are carried out by an accredited laboratory.
1.8.3 WEEE Application
The WEEE directive is closely related to the RoHS directive and applies to the following devices:
»
Large and small household appliances
»
IT equipment
»
Telecommunications equipment (although infrastructure equipment is exempt in some countries)
»
Consumer equipment
»
Lighting equipment – including light bulbs
»
Electronic and electrical tools
»
Toys, leisure and sports equipment
»
Automatic dispensers
It does not apply to fixed industrial plants and tools. The compliance is the responsibility of the company that brings
the product to market, as defined in the directive. Components and sub-assemblies are not subject to product
compliance. In other words, since Kontron Compact Computers AG does not deliver ready-made products to end users
the WEEE directive is not applicable for KCC AG. Users are nevertheless encouraged to properly recycle all electronic
products that have reached the end of their life cycle.
