10.4. RoHS Compliance
All Brainboxes Serial and Bluetooth products are fully RoHS compliant.
Brainboxes identified at an early stage the importance of rapid compliance to
RoHS guidelines and established a project team to actively manage the
transition. The initial step in the process was to use our close relationships with
suppliers to ensure early access to RoHS compliant components for all of our
Bluetooth and Serial Products. In addition, the project team worked to ensure
that our manufacturing processes meet all RoHS requirements well in advance of
the deadline.
To verify supplier declarations on RoHS compliancy, we have also sent fully built
products to an external test house for X-Ray system XDAL. This technique is capable of determining
percentages of different elements and is accurate to 0.1% Wt.
RoHS Compliant Brainboxes products have been available since January 2005.
What is the RoHS Directive?
The RoHS directive (2002/95/EC the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical
and Electronic Equipment) prohibits the sale of electrical and electronic equipment containing hazardous
substances. A list of these hazardous substances includes lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium,
polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominatied diphenylethers. RoHS affects each and every electronics
manufacturer, directly or indirectly, regardless of geographical location or the equipment they produce.
