Dear customers:
RoHS is an acronym for the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances. The EU
implemented the RoHS on July 1, 2006, which provides for restrictions on the use of six hazardous
substances, namely lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in new electronic and electrical equipment products
placed on the market.
On February 28, 2006, seven ministries and commissions, that is, MIIT, NDRC, MOC, GAC, SAIC,
GAQS and SEPA jointly promulgated the Measures for Administration of the Pollution Control of
Electronic Information Products, which is China's version of the RoHS and is enforced. The
Management Measures for the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Electronic
Wastes promulgated by the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the People's Republic of China
began to be implemented on February 1, 2008. The regulations explicitly stipulate that users of
electronic and electrical products should provide or entrust electronic waste to dismantling, utilizing
and disposing units (including individual businesses) with corresponding business scope listed in the
catalog (including temporary catalogs) to dismantle, utilize or dispose of.
Our products comply with the Measures for Administration of the Pollution Control of Electronic
Information Products and the requirements (of RoHS) in selection and procurement of electronic
components, PCB panels, wire harness materials, structural components, with strict control of six
hazardous substances, namely lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated
biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). And in the production, PCB
components are welded in Xinchi lead-free welding production line, based on the lead-free welding
process.
The following components may contain the following toxic and harmful elements:
Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
Toxic and hazardous
elements that may be
contained
Six hazardous substances, namely lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent
chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDE)
I. Environmental impact analysis:
The company' s electronic products will produce some heat during use and may lead to the
micro-emission of some harmful substances, but will not cause a serious impact on the surrounding
environment. Once an expired electronic product is discarded, its heavy metals and toxic and
harmful chemicals will cause serious pollution to the soil and water resources.
II. Life cycle of electronic products and equipment:
Any electronic product or equipment has a life span and will be damaged and scrapped. Even if it
can still be used, it will be eliminated by the upgrading of electronic products. Our electronic
products and equipment are subject to a life cycle generally not more than 20 years.
III. Disposal of scrapped electronic products:
Discarded electronic products may pollute the environment if not properly disposed of. We require
customers to establish a recycling system according to the relevant provisions of the status. No
electronic products are allowed to be discarded or disposed of as general household garbage or
general industrial solid waste, instead, they must be stored and utilized in an environmentally sound
manner or uniformly recycled by qualified organizations in strict accordance to the Management
Measures for the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Electronic Waste
promulgated by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. No disassembly, utilization and disposal
of e-waste by unqualified individuals or organizations is allowed.
