Rohs Compliance - Brainboxes XC-157 Product Manual

13.4 RoHS Compliance

All Brainboxes Serial and Bluetooth products are fully RoHS compliant.
Brainboxes identified at an early stage the importance of rapid compliance to RoHS
guidelines and established a project team to actively manage the transition. The initial step
in the process was to use our close relationships with suppliers to ensure early access to
RoHS compliant components for all of our Bluetooth and Serial Products. In addition, the
project team worked to ensure that our manufacturing processes meet all RoHS
requirements well in advance of the deadline.
To verify supplier declarations on RoHS compliancy, we have also sent fully built products to
an external test house for X-Ray system XDAL. This technique is capable of determining
percentages of different elements and is accurate to 0.1% Wt.
RoHS Compliant Brainboxes products have been available since January 2005.
