The European Union Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS) restricts the use of lead (Pb) and other harmful substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

The aim of this restriction is simple: to remove a total of six substances from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), thereby contributing to the protection of human health and the environment.

It is JCM's goal to meet our customers' needs with respect to RoHS. JCM is actively working to achieve the important objective of making all JCM products RoHS compliant before the deadline of July 1st, 2006. Our goal is to have the majority of our product line available in a RoHS compliant status by end of March 2006.





Products and carton boxes will be labeled in the following way to identify RoHS compliant JCM products:

JCM will also change it's part numbers for RoHS compliant parts.


WEEE Directive

The European Union Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) applies to companies that manufacture, sell, distribute, recycle or treat electrical and electronic equipment. So, JCM's products are also affected.

This Directive aims to reduce the waste arising from electrical and electronic equipment and to improve the environmental performance of all those involved in the life cycle of these products.

JCM is dedicated to minimizing the impact our products have on the environment and is in compliance with the WEEE Directive since August 13, 2005.

• All our finished products are labeled with a crossed out dustbin sticker.

• Since August 2005 JCM is already registered at the German Clearing House (EAR) for B2B (Business to Business) products. According to WEEE our products fall in category 9.
