ROHS Exemption List for Piezoelectric Ceramic Buzzers{The following bold is the ROHS exemption clause of piezoelectric ceramic buzzer}European Union Electrical and Electronic Products Environmental Protection Directive WEEE and ROHS

Part 1 Overview of WEEE Directive and ROHS Directive1. WEEE Directive1. WEEE: 2002/96/EC Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive.2. The core content of the WEEE directive:From August 13, 2005, manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment circulating in the EU market must be legally responsible for paying the recycling fees for scrapped products. Supporting recycling facilities enable end-users of electrical and electronic products to dispose of end-of-life equipment conveniently and free of charge.3. The WEEE Directive covers the scope of products:① Large household appliances; ② Small household appliances; ③ IT and communication equipment; ④ Consumer electronic and electrical equipment; ⑤ Lighting equipment; ⑥ Electrical and electronic tools (except large stationary industrial tools); ⑦ Toys, leisure and sports equipment; ; ⑨ detection and control instruments; ⑩ vending machines.4. WEEE Directive Objectives:On August 13, 2005, the manufacturer established or used a recycling system, and reached the 50%-80% recycling rate assessment target after one year (the manufacturer, including its importers and distributors, is responsible for recycling and disposing of waste electrical and electronic products entering the EU market. product)   5. Producer Responsibilities:Design environmentally friendly products, comply with the requirements of the ROHS directive, and register with EU member states.6. Product identification requirements:Manufacturer's name, date of manufacture and related signs (with the "WEEE" sign for recycling).7. Influence:① Although the requirements of the WEEE Directive to establish a recycling system are aimed at "producers" (including their importers and distributors) within the EU, the final cost will inevitably be passed on to exporters outside the EU, and the resulting direct costs and Indirect costs are bound to increase the export cost of my country's electrical and electronic products. ② Chinese enterprises have to pay extra high e-waste recycling fees when exporting.

2. ROHS Directive1. ROHS: 2002/95/ECDirective on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipmentThe Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipme2. Core content of ROHS directive:It is stipulated that from July 1, 2006, the electrical and electronic equipment newly put on the EU market shall not contain the following six kinds of harmful substances, and the maximum levels in homogeneous materials are:① Lead (Pb): 1000mg/Kg; ② Mercury (Hg): 1000 mg/Kg; ③ Cadmium (Cd): 100 mg/Kg; ④ Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+): 1000 mg/Kg; ⑤ Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB): 1000 mg/Kg Kg; ⑥ Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE): 1000mg/Kg3. Important deadlines for the two directives1. February 13, 2003: The two directives were announced.2. August 13, 2004: EU member states must convert the two directives into their own laws and regulations (currently only some countries have completed them on time).3. August 13, 2005: Manufacturers should establish an operation mechanism for recycling and disposing of electrical and electronic waste free of charge to end users; from this date, products put on the market are regarded as "new products" and need to be affixed accordingly. "WEEE" logo.4. July 1, 2006: Electrical and electronic products entering the EU market shall not contain 6 kinds of harmful substances. (ROHS)5. December 31, 2006: EU member states ensure that the recycling rate of electrical and electronic waste is achieved (see Article 7, paragraph 2 of WEEE), and the EU households should recycle at least 4 kg of waste electrical and electronic products per capita per year.4. The geographical scope covered by the two directives1. The two directives cover 25 EU member states and 3 European Economic Area (EEA) countries, totaling 28 countries.2. The 25 EU member states are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, Slovenia, Cyprus, Malta, Poland, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia.3. The three EEA countries are: Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein. 5. Part of the product catalogues involved in the two directives. 6. Other regulations involved in the two directives.1. 94/62/EC: packaging and packaging waste Directive on packaging and packaging waste2. 91/157/EEC: Batteries and accumulators Batteries and accumulators Directive3.
