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.

Desktop Board DG35EC complies with these restrictions.
