RoHS Compatible Product Design, Weee Application

DIGITAL-LOGIC AG

MSB900/L Detailed Technical Manual V1.0

RoHS is often referred to as the "lead-free" directive but it restricts the use of the following substances:

Lead

Mercury

Cadmium

Chromium VI

PBB and PBDE

The maximum allowable concentration of any of the above mentioned substances is 0.1% (except for Cad- mium, which is limited to 0.01%) by weight of homogeneous material. This means that the limits do not apply to the weight of the finished product, or even to a component but to any single substance that could (theo- retically) be separated mechanically.

1.11.1.RoHS Compatible Product Design

All DIGITAL-LOGIC standard products comply with RoHS legislation.

Since July 1, 2006, there has been a strict adherence to the use of RoHS compliant electronic and mechani- cal components during the design-in phase of all DIGITAL-LOGIC standard products.

1.11.2.RoHS Compliant Production Process

DIGITAL-LOGIC selects external suppliers that are capable of producing RoHS compliant devices. These capabilities are verified by:

1.A confirmation from the supplier indicating that their production processes and resulting devices are RoHS compliant.

2.If there is any doubt of the RoHS compliancy, the concentration of the previously mentioned sub- stances in a produced device will be measured. These measurements are carried out by an accred- ited laboratory.

1.11.3.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 DIGITAL-LOGIC does not deliver ready-made products to end users the WEEE directive is not applicable for DIGITAL-LOGIC. Users are nevertheless encouraged to prop- erly recycle all electronic products that have reached the end of their life cycle.
