ຄຳສັ່ງກ່ຽວກັບສິ່ງເສດເຫຼືອອຸປະກອນໄຟຟ້າ ແລະ ເອເລັກໂຕຣນິກ, ເຊິ່ງເອີ້ນກັນທົ່ວໄປວ່າ WEEE. ນີ້ແມ່ນແນໃສ່ຜູ້ຜະລິດອຸປະກອນໄຟຟ້າ ແລະ ເອເລັກໂຕຣນິກ ແລະ ມີສອງຈຸດປະສົງຫຼັກຄື:
- ຜູ້ຜະລິດຍັງຈະມີຄວາມຮັບຜິດຊອບໃນການຣີໄຊເຄີນຜະລິດຕະພັນໃນຕອນທ້າຍຂອງຊີວິດການໃຊ້ງານຂອງເຂົາເຈົ້າ ແລະ ມີເປົ້າໝາຍທີ່ຜູ້ຜະລິດຕ້ອງບັນລຸ.
- ເພື່ອລົບລ້າງການນໍາໃຊ້ສານທີ່ມີຄວາມອ່ອນໄຫວຕໍ່ສິ່ງແວດລ້ອມຈາກຂະບວນການຜະລິດອຸປະກອນໄຟຟ້າ ແລະ ເອເລັກໂຕຣນິກ. ເພື່ອເຮັດສິ່ງນີ້, ຄໍາສັ່ງ WEEE ໝາຍເຖິງຄໍາສັ່ງຈໍາກັດສານອັນຕະລາຍ (RoHS).
The main objective of the R0HS directive is to eliminate the use of four metals and 2 flame retardants – For each of these substances a maximum concentration value of 0.1% by weight in electrical and electronic equipment is permissible:
- Lead
- Mercury
- Cadmium
- Hexavalent Chromium
- Polybrominated Diphenyls
- Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers
In addition, there is an extra clause covering the exceptions which includes Lead, when used as an alloying element where the maximum concentrationvalues are:
- 0.35% by weight in Steels (including Stainless Steel)
- 0.40% by weight in Aluminium
- 4.00% by weight in Copper alloys
Statement
Our suppliers have confirmed that we do not have a problem in supplying material that fully conforms to the RoHS directive and as a Company we can thus make the following statement:
We can confirm that the levels of:
- Lead
- Cadmium
- Mercury
- Hexavalent Chromium Polybrominated
- Biphenyl (PBB) Polybrominated
- Diphenyl Ether (PBDE)
are all below the maximum permissible levels stipulated in the European Directive 2011/65/CE (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), for all materials supplied by us.
The only exception to this is where a customer orders a grade of material where the British, European or International Standard covering that grade requires the level of one or more of the substances to be in excess of the RoHS Directive. In this case, the material will contain a value of each substance in line with the requirements of the standard.
