RoHS policy - Frequency Control Products

RoHS policy

Rakon is committed to supplying products that conform to the European Union (EU) Directive 2002/95/EC: Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS). According to the RoHS Directive, the following six substances should be phased out of many electronic components by July 1st, 2006:

Lead
Hexavalent chromium
Mercury
Cadmium
Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs)
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).

We have undertaken wide ranging research into these substances and their use. The key substance that affects our product range is lead. Selection and testing of alternative materials has been ongoing and certain levels of formal qualifications have been completed within our facilities.

We are in the process of changing many of our components and processes to be RoHS compliant, and are currently supplying fully certified RoHS compliant products to our customers where specified.

We can provide comprehensive and in-depth guidance to customers on appropriate technologies and alternative components that are in compliance with RoHS standards.

We are aware that many of our customers' products are exempt from the RoHS requirements, and are therefore committed to continuing to supply existing products and services without change. Should change be unavoidable through component supply constraints, we will work with our customers to ensure that they are notified in advance of any changes that are required to allow continuation of supply.
