RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment)

Almost all of Fairbanks Scales products, when used as standalone equipment, fall within Product Category 9 of the European Union RoHS Directive, and therefore are currently outside of the Directive’s scope.

However, Fairbanks Scales recognizes that many of our products are incorporated into data systems that may not be out-of-scope or exempt, thus requiring that our products meet the Maximum Concentration Values specified for the six RoHS-controlled substances. Furthermore, we share with our customers an increasing concern for the environment, and recognize that product design and manufacture can have an environmental impact.

Therefore, we have embarked on a vigorous program to bring our products into conformance with the dictates of RoHS and similar environmental laws.

Fairbanks Scales has established a formal corporate goal to comply with RoHS Our first fully compliant weighing product will be available in time for the RoHS deadline of 1 July 2006. All new products in development will be made RoHS compliant Existing products will be evaluated and made compliant if customer demand warrants

Fairbanks Scales is committed to complying with all national laws in the countries in which we operate, and we stipulate that our suppliers do the same.

We welcome any questions you may have.
