Management Methods for Controlling Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products Regulation: China RoHS

Dear Valued Customer,

The China RoHS is similar to the EU RoHS in that it restricts certain hazardous substances in consumer products and in packaging materials. However, the China RoHS is in fact quite different from its EU counterpart in a few significant ways. In fact, China RoHS was developed entirely separately from the EU regulations and in many ways is stricter.

Marmon Aerospace & Defense® does state with regards to the directive that to the best of RSCC's knowledge and belief, RSCC's products do not contain the hazardous substances and their concentration limits of lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl, polybrominated diphenyl ether and cadmium.

This is a self declared conformity which is not applied in the People's Republic of China (PRC). Before put into the PRC market the China RoHS states that a PRC approved laboratory of which Marmon does not utilize at this time must be utilized. There are also marking requirements that Marmon also does not utilize.

Marmon continues to state the above compliance to EU RoHS and any issues with regards to the requirements of the China RoHS must be addressed in a separate dialogue.
