austriamicrosystems - a leader in RoHS / lead-free solutions

Dear Customer

On January 27, 2003 the European Parliament and the Administrative Council adopted Directive 2002/95/EG (RoHS) which concerns the "Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment".

This Directive bans the use of lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) and hexavalent chromium (Cr 6) in soldering material and the use of Polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) in substrate materials or mold compounds for equipment put in circulation inside the European Union since July 1, 2006.

The parts currently delivered by austriamicrosystems AG are compliant for this directive.

Frequently asked questions and relevant technical issues can be found in the FAQs on our Website.
