The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union have adopted legislation restricting or banning certain substances in the electrical and electronic equipment. The RoHS Directive states that: "Member States shall ensure that from 1 July, 2006, new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)."
This directive is completed by a second directive concerning the management of waste of electrical and electronic equipment.
Optima Technology Associates, products do not contain Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, Poly-brominated Biphenyls (PBB), or Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) as either intentionally added ingredients or as unintended impurities in concentrations exceeding EU regulatory limits, as specified by customer requirements.
