REDUCTION OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
CISCO´S POSITION
As of July 1, 2006,
Cisco products meet requirements of the European Union Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) Directive. RoHS restricts the use of lead, mercury, cadmium,
hexavalent chromium and two bromine-containing flame retardants: PBB (polybrominated
biphenyls) and PBDE (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) in electrical and electronic
products placed on the European Market on and after July 1, 2006. Exemptions
allow the continued use of lead in networking infrastructure equipment and
a few select components.
Cisco works closely with its supply chain to assure compliance of products and materials supplied by partners.
