1. DIRECTIVE 2011/65/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (recast) (RoHS II)1;

2. REGULATION (EC) No 1907/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH);

3. Administrative Measure on the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products (China RoHS)

4. All other applicable laws and regulations;

Should the requirements of this Specification conflict with applicable governmental regulations or legislation the more stringent requirements shall take precedence.

2.0 RoHS RequirementsHomogeneous materials within new Company X brand products and parts and assemblies for new Company X brand products must not exceed the EU RoHS substance restrictions in Table 1. Any applicable exemptions must be duly communicated by the supplier.

1 The recast RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS II) has repealed Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS). The recast RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 1 July 2011 and entered into force on 21 July 2011.

Non-Company X brand (i.e., third-party/Supplier logo) products must comply with applicable legal requirements.

The RoHS requirements do not apply to spare parts for the repair, or reuse, of electrical and electronic equipment put on the market before July 1, 2006, batteries or process chemicals.

3.0 Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in Articles - Reporting Requirements Under REACH, Company X products are defined as “articles”.

Article: means an object which during production is given a special shape, surface or design which determines its function to a greater degree than does its chemical composition;

As such, Company X requires suppliers to identify (Substance name, CAS and/or EC number) if any Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) are present at or above the 0.1% weight by weight (w/w). Suppliers of substances and/or preparations are also required to meet REACH registration

requirements as applicable and provide REACH-compliant safety data sheets, including requirements associated with the CLP Regulation2.

The current candidate list of SVHC as published by the EU is located at: http://echa.europa.eu/web/guest/candidate-list-table

Additional information on Substances of Very High Concern under REACH can be found at:http://echa.europa.eu/web/guest/addressing-chemicals-of-concern/authorisation/substances-of-very-high-concern-identification/candidate-list-of-substances-of-very-high-concern-for-authorisation

Additional information on REACH can be found at the European Chemicals Agency web site at: http://echa.europa.eu/web/guest/regulations/reach/understanding-reach4.0 Products for People’s Republic of China: Company X brand products and parts and assemblies for “independent commercial sale” in China must meet the requirements of “The Management Methods for Controlling Pollution by Electronic Information Products (EIP)” (“China RoHS”).

China RoHS includes the same restricted substances as EU RoHS, listed in Table 1.Company X suppliers are required to report the presence of the restricted substances in Table 1 at the homogeneous level in amounts exceeding the thresholds listed in Table 1.
