RoHS & WEEE Compliance Statement

The following statement is a summary of the position of Weed Instrument Co., Inc. with respect to the European Union's (E.U.) request for compliance to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive 2002/95/EC and to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive 20021 961 EC.

The RoHS directive bans the use of four metals (Hg - Mercury, Pb - lead, Cr(V1) - Hexavalent Chromium, and Cd - cadmium) and two flame retardants (PBB - Polybrominated biphenyls, and PBDE - Polybrominated diphenyl ethers) in certain specified products sold in Europe beginning July l, 2006. The WEEE directive provides for the prevention, recovery and safe disposal of specified electronic waste and required compliance by August 13, 2005.

All Weed Instrument products are considered compliant with the currently released RoHS and WEEE directives.

The products of Weed Instrument either fall under category 9 "Monitoring and Control Equipment" or are incorporated as an integral part of a large-scale fixed industrial tool. They are, therefore, specifically exempted from requirements within the RoHS and WEEE directives.

Independent of the Category 9 exemptions, the majority of Weed Instrument products are currently in full compliance with RoHS and WEEE directives. Should future modifications to the released directives impact our products we will strive to achieve and/or maintain compliance within the published deadlines of the directive.

Weed Instrument is committed to deliver uncompromising quality to our customers, and to develop products that have minimal environmental impact. For questions concerning the compliance status of a specific product, please contact Nick Verlenich at (512) 434-2931 or email: nickv@weedinstrument.com
