Schedule to RoHS and WEEE Compliance


Time runs up sooner than you think

Time runs faster than expected

In the RoHS and WEEE directives, the European Union has imposed hard deadlines which must be met. u-blox commits to introduce lead free products on time in order to provide customers enough time to migrate their products to lead free.

Schedule

All ANTARIS 4 products (for example the TIM-4P and LEA-4P) are RoHS compliant from the very beginning.

For the ANTARIS products (for example the TIM-LP and LEA-LA), the changeover to lead-free has been accomplished by May 31, 2006.


August 13, 2005 Legislation: Deadline for EU member countries to bring into force the national laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the RoHS and WEEE directives.

May 31, 2006 All active products have been changed to lead-free.

July 01, 2006 Legislation: The RoHS directive has become effective. Starting this date, only RoHS compliant electronic products, regardless if OEM or end products, may be sold.

December 31, 2006 Legislation: Recycling goals defined by WEEE must be fulfilled.
