Unimec and Safety: the RoHS Directive on Hazardous Substances
The RoHS Directive (2002/95/CE) is a European directive which aims to protect human and environmental safety imposing some restrictions on the use of certain hazardous materials employed in the manufacturing of different types of electronic and electrical equipment.
The acronym “RoHS” stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive and it applies to all the products manufactured or imported within the European Union: for this reason Unimec, always committed at its best in the respect of the legislation and in the protection of health and environment, required its suppliers to follow this directive for the manufacturing of some components (mainly engines and proxys).
When we talk about prevention and safety, the first rule for Unimec is that every activity must be carried out in full compliance with current regulations in the field of safety, occupational hygiene and environmental protection, seeking continuously a constant improvement of workers and environment conditions.
Like we said before, the legislation regulates the employment of some hazardous substances which are believed to be prejudicial to health and environment: for this reason, the maximum permitted concentrations of these materials are 0.1% or 1000 ppm by weight of homogeneous material.
In particular, the RoHS directive restricts the use of :
- Lead
- Mercury
- Cadmium
- Hexavalent chromium
- Polybrominated biphenyls
- Polybrominated diphenyl ether
It's not just the adhesion to the guide lines imposed by the legislation to put Unimec on the front line in the field of safety: the excellent quality of the materials employed in its production makes the products of the Lombard company a guarantee of top reliability to be used also in delicate sectors like aeronautical, rail and food ones.
