Compatibility status for EU RoHS Directive
Almost all products we manufacture and sell do not contain the these hazardous substances above the threshold.
However, some products are not planned to be supported. For more information, you can make sure in "Non-compatible product series" of the following list.
In addition, our discontinued products are not listed, so please contact us if necessary.

CE Marking obligations under EU RoHS Directive
EU RoHS Directive applies to electrical and electronic products (EEE, rated voltage AC1000V / DC1500 or less), and requires CE marking as a means of ensuring compliance.
CE marking means also that it complies with other directives (Low Voltage Directive, Machinery Directive, EMC Directive, etc.).
Ratings/Specifications of EU RoHS compatible products
There is no change in the each ratings and specifications of RoHS directive compatible products from existing products.
