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 Directive (RoHS)” prescribes the
maximum trace levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent
chromium, and flame retardants PBB and PBDE that may be
contained in a product. Only products meeting these high envi-
ronmental 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-compli-
ant products, Psion Inc. indicates its compliance with the direc-
tive 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) sig-
nifies that the product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU direc-
tive. Other than as noted below, a Psion 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.
