Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

EU RoHS

EU RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC restricts the use of the following six materials in various types of electronic and electrical equipment:

Lead

Mercury

Cadmium

Hexavalent chromium

Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)

Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)

The maximum concentrations allowed are 0.1% or 1000 ppm (except for cadmium, which is limited to 0.01% or 100 ppm) by weight of homogeneous material.

Intel Desktop Board DQ57TM complies with these restrictions.
