RoHS Policy

In recent years, there are increasing concerns for environmental conservation globally. The Directive 2002/95/EC on the Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) was issued in February 2003. The RoHS directive restricts the use of the following substances on products sold into European markets from July 1, 2006:

• Lead
• Mercury
• Cadmium
• Hexavalent Chromium
• Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
• Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)

Sources Products: All of our LED products are now fully compliant. Our lampholders are also in full compliance. A lot of our lamps are not in compliance, but we do offer a lead-free compliant version for nearly every product available. We will continue to offer product that is not in compliance as certain industries have exemptions on RoHS and we do supply lamps to them. We also have several customers who do not sell into the European market.

Systems Products: Because our products are used as measurement devices there is an exemption on RoHS compliance. However, we are developing all our new products to be compliant and retro designing our older products when resources are available. We expect to have all our products fully compliant in the next few years.

If you have a question or a concern about a certain product please contact our RoHS Department for status on that product. More information on RoHS is available from the official RoHS website.
