In recent years, there has been a movement in EU to restrict the use of hazardous heavy metal (cadmium, lead, hexavalent chromium and liquid silver) and organohalogen compound (PBB and PBDE) in electrical appliances, electronic devices and automobile, based on RoHS directive.
Our monitoring devices fall under the category 9 of monitoring and measuring devices in the WEEE directive and under the category of exclusion article of application for RoHS directive at the moment. We, however, recognize that the environment protection is one of the most important tasks of human beings. We consider environment through our business activity and consecutively seek for environment protection and harmonious coexistence with society.
