What is RoHS?

RoHS stands for Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment. It is a European Union Directive for specified products placed on the internal market of the European Union. The Directive restricts the use of the following materials:

• Lead
• Mercury
• Cadmium
• Chromium (VI)
• Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
• Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE s)

We are demonstrating a continuing commitment to safe working and environmental responsibility. Hummel is currently taking action with the objective of meeting the requirement of this directive by 12-2005. As we clear products to be RoHS Compliant we will update our web site by part number. This is identified by the RoHS logo shown at left along with a Certificate of Compliance. You can download  RoHS information by accessing the approvals link for the individual part number.
