Nearson Incorporated Products Officially RoHS Compliant.
As those in Industry are
aware, Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Union (RoHS) went into force
on July 1, 2006. The
EU Directive
on RoHS is just part of an ever-increasing push for more environmentally
sound manufacturing policies across the whole of industry. The RoHS
directive (RoHS = Restriction
of the use of certain Hazardous
Substances) restricts and or limits the use of certain hazardous substances in
the manufacturing of electrical and electronic equipment destined for
the market in the E.U. (European Union).
The maxim of this directive is that
from July 1st, 2006 new electrical and electronic equipment put on the
market in the E.U. (European Union) must not exceed the maximum
allowable level of the following substances:
1.
Lead - (Pb)
0.1% Max Concentration
2.
Mercury - (Hg)
0.1% Max Concentration
3.
Cadmium - (Cd)
0.01% Max Concentration
4.

5.
Polybromide
Biphenyl - (PBB)

6.

We here at Nearson Incorporated instantly realized the positive impact
that we could make on the environment and immediately began the process to
bring all of our products into compliance with the RoHS directives. In the year 2003,
we developed and implemented the required procedures and processes at our
main factory which enabled us to begin
production of RoHS compliant
antennas, cable assemblies
and other products.
In July of 2005, our main factory was officially certified to be ISO 14000
compliant. ISO 14000 is a standard for environmental management and sets
requirements for implementing, maintaining and improving an environmental
management system and ensuring compliance with environmental laws and
regulations.
In anticipation of the July 2006 implementation of the RoHS Directive, Mr.
Joseph Chiao (President of Nearson Incorporated) officially announced at the
May 2006 Las Vegas IWCE that all products manufactured and or distributed by
Nearson Incorporated were in full compliance with the guidelines
set forth by the RoHS Directive."
