RoHS Certificate of Compilance<br />

Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS)<br />

by Alfred Domenech, Quality Manager <strong>Mavilor</strong> <strong>Motors</strong>.<br />

<strong>Mavilor</strong> <strong>Motors</strong> SA is RoHS compliant since 1st<br />

of January 2006, according to the directive<br />

2002/95/EC of European Union regarding the<br />

restriction of the use of certain hazardous<br />

substances in electrical and electronic equipment<br />

and components. The application of the defined<br />

substances has been eliminated from our products<br />

and process as of 1 st of January 2006.<br />

All supplied products and components are RoHS<br />

conform. We have been working with respect to<br />

the environment protection since two years ago<br />

and we are ready to be ISO 14001, we expect to<br />

be certified during this year.<br />

RoHS stands for Restriction of Certain Hazardous<br />

Substances. It is an European legislation that bans<br />

six hazardous substances from manufacturing<br />

processes: cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent<br />

chromium (Cr (VI)), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs),<br />

polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and lead<br />

(Pb).<br />

This legislation will be effective from July 1st, 2006<br />

and from this date on products using these substances<br />

cannot be sold in Europe anymore. Together with<br />

RoHS, another directive dealing with electrical and<br />

electronic equipment recycling, called WEEE (Waste<br />

from Electrical and Electronic Equipment), will take<br />

place.<br />

RoHS and WEEE will affect each and every electronics<br />

or electrotecnics manufacturer directly or indirectly,<br />

regardless geographical location the product<br />

produced.<br />

<strong>Mavilor</strong> <strong>Motors</strong> has checked all products used in<br />

manufacturing, and has achieved together with our<br />

suppliers, that every component goes with such a<br />

Directive.<br />
