| RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC |
| |
After examining the RoHS Directive and the guidance notes from the UK Government and EU, Windspeed Limited has concluded that our products(1) are currently outside the scope(2) of the RoHS Directive and are therefore not required to comply with the RoHS Directive(3).
Notes:
(1) Our products are "Vector Instruments" branded anemometers, windvanes and temperature sensors intended for measuring the wind and weather.
(2) The scope of the RoHS Directive is defined using 8 of the 10 product categories defined within the related WEEE Directive. Our products fall within the definition of "Monitoring and Control Instruments" (category 9) of the WEEE Directive, and this category is NOT within the scope of the RoHS Directive.
(3) While our products themselves are not required to be compliant, it is important that customers and OEMs are careful NOT to integrate our products into another finished product or system which they intend to "place on the market" if that finished product or system DOES fall within the scope of the RoHS directive which would mean that ALL parts of such a system would need to comply. We do not usually have full knowledge of the systems and products into which our products are incorporated and we cannot therefore be held liable should a customer wrongly do so. It is the customers responsibility to investigate the requirement for RoHS compliance of their end product. It is however Windspeed Limited company policy to eventually convert all of our products to RoHS Compliant versions where possible and as soon as possible. Please check with our sales office for more details if required.
