The
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive 2002/95/EC
(January 27, 2003) by the European Union states that from July 1,
2006 new electrical and electronic equipment must be free of lead,
mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs)
and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). In conjunction with the
WEEE (Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment) Directive
2002/96/EC (January 27, 2003), the purpose of these actions is
"to contribute to the protection of human health and the
environmentally sound recovery and disposal of waste electrical and
electronic equipment." |
Jet Fitting & Supply Corp is committed
to providing RoHS compliant fasteners. We are eager to work with you to
identify any non-compliant parts and transition them to conform to this
new environmentally friendly initiative. Through proactive planning and collaboration,
many of our current customers are already becoming compliant before the
expected July 1, 2006 goal as established by the European Union.
If you have any questions regarding the
status of your existing fasteners and what Jet Fitting & Supply Corp
can do to help you conform to this initiative, please contact any customer
