Two Technologies Achieves RoHS Compliance
July 09, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Under the RoHS directive, European Union member states must ensure that by the end of July, all new commercial, electrical and electronic equipment must be manufactured without hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers. In May of 2005, Two Technologies dedicated a cross-functional team to achieve RoHS compliance by working with external suppliers and internal personnel to implement, control, document, and ensure conformance to this environmental standard. Over the past year, this program progressed to the point where all RoHS substances have been virtually eliminated (to levels below legal limits) for all Two Technologies electronic products subject to the RoHS Directive, except where it is widely recognized that there is no technically feasible alternative (as indicated by an exemption under the EU RoHS Directive). This compliance will extend to all new product introductions beyond July 2006.
