SIGNALMAX is committed to providing
our customers with environmentally friendly
products compliant with the European Union RoHS
(Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive.
The RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC) addresses the
design phase of products and aims to restrict
the use of six hazardous substances from
electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), for
the protection of human health and the
environment. The main requirement of the RoHS
regulation is that from July 1, 2006 a
manufacturer may not put a new EEE containing
lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium,
polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in
amounts exceeding the set maximum concentration
values, on the market in the EU. To meet this
directive, all components within a product must
be examined to assess levels of restricted
substances.

SIGNALMAX recognizes the environmental
value of the RoHS directive and has actively
been reducing inventory of components which use
these hazardous substances. While many companies
have decided to hide under these exemptions, our
engineering departments have been designing new
products using RoHS compliant components since
January, 2006. In addition, the majority of our
current product line has begun the transition to
RoHS compliant versions. During this transition
period, if a RoHS compliant product is required
please discuss this need with one of our sales
application engineers. Once a product has become
officially RoHS compliant, you will find our
RoHS logo on the appropriate product web page
and the product itself.
SIGNALMAX will actively work with our
customers and partners during this transition to
make sure we meet their needs. In most cases,
our customers do not require RoHS compliant
products. These customers include those who use
our products for development, prototyping, or
production of their end products. Many of our
OEM customers which integrate an product in
their system come to find their end product may
be classified as either Category 8 or 9 and
therefore exempt. If you have any questions or
concerns regarding RoHS compliance and our
products do not hesitate to call us at (852)
