Status on EU directive RoHS (restriction of the use of certain hazardous

substances)

Dear Customer,

Here is further information regarding the application of the directive for Air Circuit Breakers
(ACBs) SACE Emax and relevant accessories.
The EU Directive RoHS 2002/95/EC, amended by the Commission
Decision of 18 August 2005, 2005/618/EC,
Decision of 13 October 2005, 2005/717/EC,
Decision of 21 October 2005, 2005/747/EC,
for new electrical or electronic products put on the market on or after July 1st, 2006, requires
reducing of some critical substances.
The SACE Emax ACBs and relevant accessories are not in the product list covered by the
RoHS Directive. We have therefore no plans to change these products.

With best regards,
