The following substances are affected by the Pollutant Directive: Lead (Pb) Mercury (Hg) Cadmium (Cd) hexavalent chromium (Cr VI) polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) The aim is not to completely replace these substances. Rather, it is the task of the national legislature to set appropriate limit values. Since it will not be possible to completely avoid heavy metals and brominated flame retardants, certain concentrations of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) should be tolerated in the materials. The following maximum concentration values have been specified (Annex II of the RoHS Directive): Lead 0.1% by weight = 1000 mg / kg = 1000 ppm Mercury 0.1% by weight = 1000 mg / kg = 1000 ppm Cadmium 0.01% by weight = 100 mg / kg = 100 ppm Chromium VI 0.1% by weight = 1000 mg / kg = 1000 ppm PBB / PBDE 0.1% by weight = 1000 mg / kg = 1000 ppm Alle E-T-A Produkte - egal ob Schutzschalter oder Elektronik-Geräte – sind in Bezug auf Quecksilber, Chrom VI, PBB und PBDE RoHS-konform, da die Grenzwerte für diese Substanzen nicht überschritten werden. Der Schadstoff Blei ist in unseren Produkten nur innerhalb der Grenzwerte enthalten, wie sie in Anhang III, Nr. 6 der RoHS-Richtlinie festgelegt sind. Cadmium kommt nur in einigen wenigen Geräten vor. Es ist in elektrischen Kontakten erlaubt nach Anhang III, Nr. 8b. Darüber hinaus entsprechen alle E-T-A Geräte der seit 1. Juli 2008 gültigen Forderung nach DecaBDE-Freiheit. Bereits 2005 wurden alle Geräteschutzschalter komplett umgestellt. Dadurch entsprechen alle E-T-A Geräteschutzschalter dieser RoHS Richtlinie. Our electronic devices are not subject to the current RoHS directive. Nevertheless, our efforts are aimed at complying with the requirements of the RoHS directive.
