RoHS Compliance Statement

The Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) Directive was passed into law by the European Union (E.U.). It affects manufacturers, sellers, distributors and recyclers of electrical and electronic equipment containing lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chrome, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE). As of July 1, 2006 the use of these materials is banned in new products sold in Europe.

Fanstel is committed to protecting people and the environment and we have identified materials used in our processes that could pose a potential hazard to our employees, customers or the environment. In 2005, Fanstel began the process of converting all of its products to be built without any of the banned materials. Qualification of RoHS-compliant components supplied by our vendors and the implementation of new manufacturing processes related to this Directive was undertaken in 2006.

All of Fanstel's telephone products and their packaging materials sold to Europe became fully RoHS-compliant on July 1, 2006. For other regions, Fanstel will ship the RoHS compliant telephone products upon request. A Declaration of RoHS Compliance can also be provided.
