ROHS and WEEE

Dear Customer,
ROHS – A great Contribution to the Conservation of Environment
The European Union has adopted a directive on the restriction / prohibition of the use of
hazardous substances. This directive, referred to as ROHS, is a frequently discussed topic in the
electronic industry.
It restricts, among other things, six materials: Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (CR
VI), cadmium (Cd), polybrimated biphenyls as flame retardant (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl,
also a flame retardant (PBDE). The directive applies to nearly all electronic and electrical devices
whose mode of operation involves electric or electromagnetic fields – in short: each kind of
electronics we have around us in our households or at work.
As manufacturers of products of the brands of AMERICAN AUDIO, AMERICAN DJ, ELATION
Professional and ACCLAIM Lighting, we are obligated to comply with the RoHS directive.
Therefore, as early as two years prior to the directive coming into force, we started our search for
alternative environmentally friendly materials and manufacturing processes.
Well before the RoHS directive took effect, all of our products were manufactured meeting the
standards of the European Union. With regular audits and material tests we can still assure that
the components we use are always RoHS-compliant and that the manufacturing process, as far
as the state of technology allows, is environmentally friendly.
The ROHS directive is an important step to the protection of our environment. We, as
manufactures, feel obligated to make our contribution in this respect.
WEEE – Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Every year thousands of tonnes of electronic components, which are harmful to the environment,
end up at the waste disposals around the world. To ensure the best possible disposal or recovery
of electronic components, the European Union has adopted the WEEE directive.
The WEEE-system (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) can be compared with the
system of the "Green Spot", which has been in use for several years. The manufactures have to
make their contribution to the utilization of waste at the time they release the product. Money
resources obtained by doing so will be applied to develop a common system of waste
management. Thereby we can ensure professional and environmentally friendly scraping and
recycling program.
As manufactures, we are part of the German system of EAR and we make our contribution
towards it.
(Registration in Germany: DE41027552)
That means that products of AMERICAN DJ and AMERICAN AUDIO can be left in the collection
points free of charge and they will be used in the recycling program. Products of ELATION
Professional, which are used only by professionals, shall be handled by us. Please send Elation
products directly to us at the end of their lifetime so that we can professionally dispose of them.
Like the above ROHS, the WEEE directive is an important contribution to the environment
protection and we are glad to help to clean the environment with this disposal system.
We are happy to answer any of your inquiries and welcome your suggestions at:
