And at the same time reviewing our manufacturing process, we are also in the elimination of substances RoHS Directive through the promotion of green procurement in material purchasing.
What is the European RoHS Directive
The Directive “RoHS” is that of the Directive the restriction of the use of certain chemical substances in electrical and electronic equipment in the (European Union) EU enforced of 2006 and revised 2011. The life cycle of the product throughout the production and disposal of waste, are intended to minimize the impact on the natural environment and human health.

Identification of the goods on the European RoHS directive compliant
The products are considered “RoHS Directive compliant products” that respond to the requirements of the European RoHS 10 directive. In our catalog and Website, there are displays of the “RoHS” marked on the corresponding products which compliant to RoHS Directive 10 restricted substances on the listed pages.

EFFORTS FOR CHINA RoHS DIRECTIVE
About China RoHS Directive
Upper limit of the amount of regulated substances and acceptable content in China RoHS is the same as the European RoHS. However, there is no provision for “exemption” to China RoHS, it is regarded as “not applicable” if it contained the substances in excess of the value threshold. In principle, we do not use environmental protection expiration dates. The six substances regulated by China RoHS and their allowable upper limits are as follows.
