EU RoHS and REACH Declarations

Dear Valued Customer:

This is to certify that the PUI Audio part numbers listed above are in conformity with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, RoHS2 Directive 2011/65/EU, RoHS3 Directive 2015/863/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 8, 2011, on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Now that the European Union has passed the updated “Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment”, commonly known as “RoHS 3” legislation 2015/863/EU, PUI Audio has once again worked diligently to comply with the new RoHS3 requirements. PUI Audio is not actively manufacturing or stocking any product which is not compliant with RoHS directive.

Although parts are stated as RoHS compliant, this does not necessarily mean that they are lead-free. The RoHS directive lists in its annex a number of exemptions. PUI products, depending on their configuration can utilize up to three of the exemptions under RoHS3 guidelines.

6(c) Copper alloy containing up to 4% lead by weight. Used as an alloying agent in brass.

7(a) Lead in high melting temperature type solders (i.e. lead-based alloys containing 85% by weight or more lead). High content lead solders can be used in reflowable or wave solderable devices without potting to cover the solder connections. High content lead solders generally have a melting point over 260C.

7(c)-I Electrical and electronic components containing lead in a glass or ceramic other than dielectric ceramic in capacitors, e.g. piezo electronic devices, or in a glass or ceramic compound. The piezo disc has approximately a 52,000-ppm lead level. Our lead‑free piezo products (ABLF*) contain lead at levels below 1000 ppm, meeting RoHS requirements without any exemption.
