Restriction On Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC
What is RoHS?
The European Union has mandated that high environmental standards be met in the design
and manufacture of electronic and electrical products sold in Europe, to reduce hazardous
substances from entering the environment. The "Restriction on Hazardous Substances Di-
rective (RoHS)" prescribes the maximum trace levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexava-
lent chromium, and flame retardants PBB and PBDE that may be contained in a product.
Only products meeting these high environmental standards may be "placed on the market"
in EU member states after July 1, 2006.
RoHS Logo
Although there is no legal requirement to mark RoHS-compliant products, Psion Teklogix
Inc. indicates its compliance with the directive as follows:
The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or underneath the battery in the
battery compartment (or on a related accessory such as the charger or docking station) signi-
fies that the product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU directive. Other than as noted below,
a Psion Teklogix product that does not have an accompanying RoHS logo signifies that it
was placed on the EU market prior to July 1, 2006, and is thereby exempt from the directive.
Note:
Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to physical space
limitations or as a result of their exempt status.
