ww5 is approaching all environmentally relevant laws in EU timely by our organized work for environmentally relevant substances. Of course, ww5 supply the products that complied with EU RoHS (*1) to our customers.
In 1996, ww5 formulated the "Voluntary Regulation Program for Environmentally Hazardous Substances", to establish ww5's voluntary regulation standards. Since then, ww5 has worked to reduce and eventually eliminate environmentally hazardous substances contained in our products, ahead of other manufacturers. ww5's voluntary regulation program also covers six substances designated under the RoHS Directive. ww5 has undertaken measures to phase out RoHS-designated substances from an early stage before proclamation and enforcement of the former RoHS (2002/95/EC).
In cooperation with customers/suppliers in January 2006 ww5 terminated, as a rule, the sale of products not in compliance with the RoHS Directive. And, ww5 continues that rules when RoHS amendments are applied in January 2013 and July 2019 under RoHS recast application.
The necessary main matters for EU RoHS compliance are as follows.
At each stage, ww5 takes measures respectively, and ww5 ww5 ensures the RoHS compliance.
You can check by the shipping label or package label. (like following example)
The products on the PDF catalogs or Product Search Engine on ww5 website are compliant with EU RoHS. When the "Product Lifecycle Stage" on the Product Search Engine search result is "Obsolete" or "Phase-Out", the product may be non-compliant with EU RoHS.
