Restriction on Hazardous Substances (ROHS)
Directive 2002/95/EC
What is RoHS?
The European Union has mandated that high environmental stan-
dards be met in the design and manufacture of electronic and elec-
trical products sold in Europe, to reduce hazardous substances from
entering the environment. The “Restriction on Hazardous Sub-
stances 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 environmental 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-compliant
products, Psion Inc. indicates its compliance with the directive as fol-
lows:
The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or under-
neath the battery in the battery compartment (or on a related acces-
sory such as the charger or docking station) signifies that the
product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU directive. 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.
