All products released on the market after 1st July 2006 must meet with the requirements of the Restriction on the use of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive. Products placed on the market before 1st July 2006, as well as spare parts for the repair of units released on the market before that date, are outside the scope of the RoHS Directive. IME tracks all PNs in relation to their RoHS status so can inform customers of the type of part going into their systems.
