The Aprisa XE is fully compliant with the European Commission’s RoHS (Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment) environmental directive.

The RoHS Directive prohibits the sale in the European Union of electronic equipment containing these hazardous substances:

• lead
• cadmium
• mercury
• hexavalent chromium
• polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs)
• polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)

With specific regard to lead, The European Commission Technical Adaptation Committee (TAC) has exempted lead in solder for high-reliability applications for which viable lead-free alternatives have not yet been identified. The exemption covers communications network infrastructure equipment, which includes our Aprisa XE microwave radios.

We have worked with its component suppliers to ensure compliance with the RoHS Directive which came into effect on the 1st July 2006, and you can download and read the Aprisa XE’s RoHS certificate.
