EUROPEAN UNION
ELV, WEEE & ROHS DIRECTIVE COMPLIANCE
Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, Poly Brominated Biphenyls & Poly Brominated Diphenyl Ethers
With regard to European Union (EU) Directive 2000/53/EC on end of life vehicles (ELV) and Directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS), to the best of our knowledge and belief, Hamlin products do not contain cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, poly brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) as either intentionally added ingredients or as unintended impurities in concentrations exceeding EU regulatory limits. Nor do we use these substances in our production processes.
Lead
To the best of our knowledge and belief, Hamlin reed switches do not contain either intentionally added lead or lead as an unintended impurity in violation of the ELV and RoHS Directives.
Most Hamlin reed relays & proximity sensors contain lead-based solder. The use of lead in solder is acceptable for automotive applications according to ELV Directive Annex II (11) but is restricted by RoHS Directive Article 4(1) for most other applications. Where this is the case, Hamlin is committed to replacing the lead-based solder with a lead free alternative and making any other modifications necessary in order to comply with this directive by the deadline of 1st July 2006. If an earlier implementation date is desired, please contact your local Sales Representative to discuss whether it will be possible.
Supply Chain Management
Hamlin forbids the supply of materials containing certain hazardous substances, including cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBBs, PBDEs and lead (except in solder). Suppliers are requested to certify that their products do not contain these hazardous substances.
