ROHS/Lead Free Compliance

Pinnacle has been involved with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) compliance requirements since 2005.

We can help you overcome the challenges you face on making your electronic assembly comply with these laws. Our experienced team has the answers and flexible solutions to assist you. We can:

• Provide the resources to convert your existing non-compliant design to RoHS compliant
• Ensure you know what is required to meet these directives
• Understand changes to the supply and conversion of components form leaded to RoHS
• Perform new product design that meets the RoHS and WEEE requirements
• Understand and overcome the challenges of manufacturing/inspecting a lead-free assembly

Restrictions of Hazardous Substances (RoHS): as of July 1, 2006, EEE (Electrical and Electronic Equipment) may no longer be sold in the European Union (EU) if it contains six banned substances beyond the stated limits. The six substances identified by RoHS are Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, PBBs, and PBDEs.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE): As of August 13, 2005, producers were required to finance the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of all WEEE.

Pinnacle stands ready to significantly decrease your product conversion costs through our turnkey RoHS product conversion service. This allows your engineering team to focus on their core competency areas. Contact us for your next RoHS compliant product requirement and we will be glad to share our knowledge with you.
