RoHS and WEEE
RoHS
What Is RoHS ?
The RoHS Directive stands for "the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment". This Directive bans the placing on the EU market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.
Manufacturers need to understand the requirements of the RoHS Directive to ensure that their products, and their components, comply.
The RoHS Directive and the UK RoHS regulations came into force on 1 July 2006.
The RoHS Directive is an Article 95 single market directive.
AWCSL hereby declare that all of our product range complies in full with the RoHS directive
WEEE
What is it?
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive came into force in January 2007 and aims to both reduce the amount of WEEE being produced and encourage everyone to reuse, recycle and recover it. The WEEE Directive also aims to improve the environmental performance of businesses that manufacture, supply, use, recycle and recover electrical and electronic equipment.
AWCSL hereby declare that we comply in full with the WEEE legislation and our UK producer registration number is WEE/BH0116XU
