The RoHS Directive restricts and or limits 10 substances: Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB), Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs), Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP). Horizon Electronics is committed to RoHS Directive compliance and supports its objective.

The RoHS Directive is based on a Supplier Declaration of Conformity approach and Horizon Electronics actively works with its suppliers to certify that its products meet the RoHS Directive’s restriction and marking requirements. Horizon Electronics has determined that all current and recent (post 1 July 2006) Horizon Electronics products are in compliance with the RoHS Directive’s substance restrictions, with no exemptions.
