A.D.J. Supply Europe B.V. – www.americandj.eu – MOD TW100 Instruction Manual Page 25ROHS - A great Contribution to the Conservation of EnvironmentDear Customer,The European Union has adopted a directive on the restriction / prohibition of the use of hazardoussubstances. This directive, referred to as ROHS, is a frequently discussed topic in the electronic industry.It restricts, among other things, six materials: Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (CR VI),cadmium (Cd), polybrimated biphenyls as flame retardant (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl, also a flameretardant (PBDE). The directive applies to nearly all electronic and electrical devices whose mode of operationinvolves electric or electromagnetic fields – in short: each kind of electronics we have around us in ourhouseholds or at work.As manufacturers of products of the brands of AMERICAN AUDIO, AMERICAN DJ, ELATION Professionaland ACCLAIM Lighting, we are obligated to comply with the RoHS directive. Therefore, as early as two yearsprior to the directive coming into force, we started our search for alternative environmentally friendly materialsand manufacturing processes.Well before the RoHS directive took effect, all of our products were manufactured meeting the standards of theEuropean Union. With regular audits and material tests we can still assure that the components we use arealways RoHS-compliant and that the manufacturing process, as far as the state of technology allows, isenvironmentally friendly.The ROHS directive is an important step to the protection of our environment. We, as manufactures, feelobligated to make our contribution in this respect.
