RoHS/WEEE Compliance Statement
RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC)
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(RoHS) Directive was passed into law by the European Union (E.U.). It affects
manufacturers, sellers, distributors and recyclers of electrical and electronic
equipment containing lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chrome, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and
polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE). The use of these materials is banned in new products sold in
Europe. The RoHS Directive complements the WEEE Directive.
Wohler Technologies is committed to protecting people and the environment through our compliance with
these directives. We are continuing to work on identifying and replacing any materials or processes that
could pose a potential hazard to our employees, customers, or the environment. The exception to this are
certain legacy products for which RoHS-compliant components are unavailable from suppliers.
Wohler Technologies is marking its RoHS-compliant products with a distinctive RoHS label, an equivalent
notice, or internationally recognized icon.
WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC)
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) applies to companies that manufacture,
sell, distribute, recycle or treat electrical and electronic equipment and to consumers in the E.U. It covers
all large and small household appliances, IT equipment, radio and audio equipment, electrical tools and
telecommunications equipment, providing the means to collect and recycle electronics products from consumers
at end-of-life.
The Directive aims to reduce the waste arising from electrical and electronic equipment and to improve
the environmental performance of all those involved in the life cycle of these products. Wohler Technologies
is dedicated to minimizing any adverse impact our products might have on the environment.
