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.
