RoHS Compliance

All Brainboxes Serial and Bluetooth products are fully RoHS compliant.

Brainboxes identified at an early stage the importance of rapid compliance to

RoHS guidelines and established a project team to actively manage the

transition. The initial step in the process was to use our close relationships with

suppliers to ensure early access to RoHS compliant components for all of our

Bluetooth and Serial Products. In addition, the project team worked to ensure

that our manufacturing processes meet all RoHS requirements well in advance of

the deadline.

To verify supplier declarations on RoHS compliancy, we have also sent fully built

products to an external test house for X-Ray Fluoresence testing on components,

using the Fischerscope X Ray system XDAL. This technique is capable of determining percentages of

different elements and is accurate to 0.1% Wt.

RoHS Compliant Brainboxes products have been available since January 2005.

What is the RoHS Directive?

The RoHS directive (2002/95/EC the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in

Electrical and Electronic Equipment) prohibits the sale of electrical and electronic equipment

containing hazardous substances. A list of these hazardous substances includes lead, cadmium,

mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenylethers. RoHS

affects each and every electronics manufacturer, directly or indirectly, regardless of geographical

location or the equipment they produce.
