The entire CCTV product range of Dedicated Micros is fully compliant with the requirements of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC (also known as lead-free), DM reports.
This Directive, which came into force on July 1, 2006, was developed by the European Union and restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The substances which fall under the scope of RoHS are: lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (CrVI), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).
What they say
Andrew Finn, Managing Director at Dedicated Micros, said: "We are pleased to report our compliance with such a significant environmental measure. This is the end result of a major 18 month programme at DM to refine the design and manufacture of our products in light of RoHS. In terms of the impact on customers, I would like to reassure them that they are still free to sell products from their existing inventory – sourced prior to the implementation date – as the Directive is aimed at preventing the manufacture of non-compliant products after July 1, 2006."
Moving forward, DM adds that its products can be broken down into four categories with respect to the RoHS Directive: EOL (End of Life) – covering goods manufactured before 1 July, 2006; Exempt – for products exempt under category 9 of the Directive or not covered by it; RoHS-N – goods for sale in Non-EU countries only and RoHS-Y – products which are fully compliant with the Directive.
