RoHS Designation

All of the Lapp's products continue to be compliant to the current RoHS standard and do not contain DECA BDE.

RoHS & WEEE Directives

As of July 1st 2006, certain substances are banned from inclusion in new electrical and electronic equipment.

These substances are:

• Lead • Mercury • Cadmium • DECA-BDE
• Hexavalent chromium • Polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) • Polybrominated diphenylether (PBDE)

In certain substances, limited values or exceptions apply, which are specified in EU Guidelines 2002/95/EC.

The importance of eliminating lead from cables began in the European and Asian markets.

International Regulations & Directives are in the process of eliminating lead.

RoHS (2002/95/EC)
(Restriction of Hazardous Substances)

Requires that manufacturers, distributors and sellers comply with eliminating certain hazardous substances from New Electrical and Electrical equipment by July 1, 2006.

All new production of standard Lapp cables are manufactured with compounds that meet the RoHS directive. These cables will be identified by the designation "RoHS" on the jacket print legend.

WEEE (2002/96/EC)

Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment - requires that manufacturers, distributors and sellers of specific appliances, and electrical equipment provide recycling and disposal facilities for their products as of August 13, 2005.

The use of non-lead compounds will not compromise the integrity of any Lapp product's ability to provide continued optimum performance.
