RoHS and WEEE Compliance

ITI is in compliance with RoHS directive and EU WEEE directive. ITI works with our partners and clients to ensure these directives are met in every product we deliver.

The RoHS Directive bans placement into the market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than designated maximum allowable levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.

The Maximum Concentration Values are 0.1% by weight (1000 ppm) in “homogeneous materials” for lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenylethers, and 0.01% by weight (100ppm) for cadmium. These limits will apply to all components within the equipment, unless otherwise exempt.

WEEE encourages the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipment. WEEE makes producers and importers responsible for financing of the collection, treatment and recovery of WEEE.

RoHS supports WEEE by reducing the amount of hazardous chemicals used in production.  In turn it reduces the risk of exposure to recycling staff as well as reduction in recycling costs.
