Riedon RoHS Certificate
The European Union (EU) issued Directive 2002/95/EC on the Restriction of certain Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) applies to most electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market
after July 1, 2006. The Directive was repealed and replaced by the most current Directive
2011/65/EU of 8 June 2011 (“Recast” or “RoHS II”), which became effective January 1, 2013.
The directive requires elimination or limited use of the following chemicals (limit 0.1% of
weight, or 1000 ppm, of any “homogeneous material”):
