RoHS: Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive
iWatt products are RoHS & Green compliant. As a “Fabless Supplier” of power management ICs, our products are manufactured at facilities not operated directly under our control. It is iWatt’s policy to develop supplier relationships with companies who are committed to Environmental preservation, and those who comply with environmental laws, regulations, and industry guidelines. We continue to work with these suppliers to advance process technologies that will have ever decreasing impact on the environment, world-wide.
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) 2002/95/EC was adopted in February 2003 by the European Union. The RoHS directive became effective July 1, 2006. This directive restricts the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacture of various types of electronic and electrical equipment. RoHS restricts the use of the following 6 substances:
| No. Substance | Limits
| Notes |
|---|---|---|
[1] Lead (Pb) |
0.10% |
|
[2] Mercury (Hg) |
0.10% |
|
[3] Cadmium (Cd) |
0.01% |
|
[4] Chromium VI (CrVI) |
0.10% |
1 |
[5] PBB |
0.10% |
2, 4 |
[6] PBDE |
0.10% |
3, 4 |
Limits:
The maximum concentrations are 0.1% (except for Cadmium which is limited to 0.01%) by weight of homogeneous material. The limits do not apply to the weight of the finished product, but to any single substance that could (theoretically) be separated mechanically.Notes:
1) Also known as hexavalent chromium or Cr6+
2) Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), also called brominated biphenyls or polybromobiphenyls, are a group of manufactured chemicals
3) PBDE, or polybrominated diphenyl ether is a flame-retardant of the brominated flame-retardant group
4) PBB and PBDE are flame retardants used in some plastic materials
