The original RoHS Directive calls for the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment with the objective of the Directive to reduce the amount of these materials from entering the waste stream. This Directive took effect on July 1, 2006 and bans placing on the European Union market any new electrical or electronic equipment products containing more than the specified levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.
The original RoHS Directive holds the end product manufacturer, re-brander or importer responsible for product content. 4Court Solutions Ltd and its partners and suppliers are active participants in the transition to compliance.
4Court Solutions Ltd is committed to analysing each stage of its processes with the cooperation and full support of our strategic suppliers. We continually monitor our design and procurement processes to evaluate and ensure that our product compliance will maintain our high level of quality control.
The 4Court quality control process aims at ensuring traceability and certificates of conformance can be prepared for shipments if required by our customers. The products we offer already include a range of mini keyboards, keypads and Point-of-Sale Terminals & Peripherals that are RoHS compliant.
As the new Directive becomes law in 2013 we will continue to work with our partners and suppliers to ensure we comply with the legislation as it takes effect.
