SAMES RoHS Compliance Notice

1.       Overview  

The environmentally preferred products have become a priority as a result of legislation approved by the European Union (EU) on the restriction of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products. The two directives are the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and the Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),

 The RoHS directive states that the targeted materials shall no longer be contained in the electronic products above certain limits unless there is an exemption provided in the rule. The WEEE addresses the collection and treatment requirements of electronic equipment.

The Directives apply to all electrical and electronic products and their component parts, offered for sale into the European Union and other countries after July 1,2006.

Sames’s RoHS program has been implemented to meet the requirements of European Union (EU), RoHS Directive, including Pb free components.

2.  RoHS guideline 

 The following are the specific banned substances and limits to meet RoHS compliance.

RoHS restricted materials

1. Lead (Pb)

< 0.10% of the component weight £1000ppm

2.Mercury (Hg)

< 0.10% of the component weight £1000ppm

3.Hexavalent Chromium(Cr VI)

< 0.10% of the component weight £1000ppm

4.Cadmium(Cd)

< 0.01% of the component weight £100ppm

5.Polybrominated byphenyls (PBBs)

< 0.10% of the component weight £1000ppm

6. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)

< 0.10% of the component weight £1000ppm

   

3.  RoHS compliance identification  

 

Sames will alter the part number for RoHS compliant parts in order to accommodate ease of identification even after the component has been assembled on a PCB. The suffix “R” will be added to the part number.

Example: - Current product part number      SA4301ASA

-  RoHS compliant part number   SA4301ASAR 

In order to also assist our customers a green sticker will be placed on each packing box with the wording 'RoHS Compliant' to distinguish the RoHS compliant parts from the non-compliant parts. This will be done till end of 2006. Thereafter only the part number will be used as an indicator of RoHS compliance.

4.                  Transition Announcement

All Sames's device can be supplied as RoHS compliant, which are currently available upon request. Sames will start stock transition from early 2006 and expect to complete the transition before the end of June 2006. 

5.                  Lead-free devices

Lead-free (Pb) can be supplied however it will be more cost effective for Sames to supply only RoHS compliant devices rather than keeping stock of both. RoHS compliant devices are also Pb free; please refer to RoHS guidelines in paragraph 2 above.
