RoHS Compliance
The EU Directive 2002/95/EC Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) is aimed at reducing the hazardous materials content in electrical and electronic products. It specifically prohibits or restricts the use of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).
Telect has a strong history of compliance with both US and international environmental requirements. Through collaboration with industry peers and suppliers, along with a dedicated internal team, we are able to consistently ensure the performance and reliability of all products to Telect standards and environmental requirements. Through this effort, Telect has achieved compliance to both the European RoHS directive (5 of 6, effective July 1, 2006), and the Chinese RoHS directive (effective March 1, 2007).

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE) addresses the problem of product recycling and requires products to be labeled to identify participation in the program. To comply with the WEEE directive, Telect has incorporated use of the EU-approved "double-crossed wheelie bin" symbol, affixed to Telect products when delivered into all European countries.
As Telect continues with further compliance efforts for the WEEE directive, we will seek to identify and establish relationships with designated collection facilities (DCF's) for a product takeback program, along with authorized treatment facilities (ATF's) to process WEEE and provide evidence to producers on the amount of WEEE received for treatment.
