Information relating to the law governing waste electrical and electronic equipment

In implementation of Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 27 January 2003, Official Journal No. L 37 of 13 February 2003 p. 19, relating to the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, the Elektroaltgeräteverordnung (EAG-VO – law governing waste electrical and electronic equipment), Bundesgesetzblatt (BGBl. – Federal Law Gazette) II No. 121/2005 in the version BGBl. II No. 183/2006, in section 4 standardizes the prohibition and avoidance of certain substances in electrical and electronic equipment as well as in household luminaires and electric light bulbs.

All equipment in our range fulfils the requirements that are standardized in this law, be it that the limits for certain substances set out in section 4 paragraph 1 of the law governing waste electrical and electronic equipment are not exceeded, be it that they relate to the applications listed in Annex 2 of the law which are exempted by section 4 paragraph 2 line 5 from the demands of section 4 paragraph 1, for instance, lead in solders for servers, storage systems and storage arrays as well as network infrastructure equipment for switching, signalling, transmission and network management for telecommunication (Appendix 2 Z EAG-VO). This applies particularly to main boards and graphic cards.

The equipment we supply is therefore ROHS-conform.
