Alcor
Micro RoHS Statement
Alcor Micro, Inc. recognizes its responsibility as a global
Corporation. Through our Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS)
Management Systems:
Alcor Micro has pursued and implemented environmental responsibility
measures for many years.
In January 2003 the European Union (EU) adopted two environmental
directives, RoHS and WEEE, to contribute to the protection
of the health and environmentally sound recovery and disposal
of electrical and electronic equipment.
RoHS are the initials for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances
and bans the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium,
polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDEs) in electronical and electronic products. This
RoHS compliance directive was implemented at Alcor Micro in
early 2005.
The RoHS and WEEE directives significantly impact the design
and manufacture of electrical and electronic components. It
is Alcor Micro's policy to:
- Adopt a progressive position to ensure that Alcor Micro
clearly complies with any legal obligations the company has;
- Ensure that we can appropriately support Alcor Micro's customers
in their desire to do the same;
- Realize whatever opportunities these directives may present
in adding to our competitive competencies portfolio;
- Execute these in the most cost-effective manner possible.
- Maintain regular measurements & certifications with
our supply chain to insure all directives are maintained
In addition to the RoHS compliance Directive, Alcor Micro
also maintains Halogen-free components as well. |
