About the Directive 2002/95/EC “RoHS” regulating the presence of certain
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
The Member States of the European Community are in the process of completing
the national reception and enforcement of the Directive 2002/95/EC regulating the
presence of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
The Directive explicitly excludes from its scope of application finished products
such as those manufactured and sold by Marposs. It is still indeed a widely debated
matter whether the complete removal of the regulated substances could affect the
reliability of the product.
Marposs shares in the social responsibility of continuously supporting every form
of innovation that reduces or minimizes any risk of adverse impact on human health
and the environment.
Marposs is therefore voluntarily pursuing the progressive removal of the
regulated substances from our products. Marposs will do so with the clear
understanding that any improvement achieved on the protection of health and the
environment should not come as a compromise for the quality and reliability of our
products.
Marposs will put the greatest consideration in any initiative that our Customers
undertake with the purpose of reducing the environmental risk. Our commitment is
the support of their effort developing products that be of the highest quality and
reliability.
