RoHS Compliance

The Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC) requires that starting July 1, 2006, companies ensure that their electrical and electronic equipment sold in the European Union does not contain any of the following*:

  • Lead
  • Mercury
  • Cadmium
  • Hexavalent chromium
  • Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
  • Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)
Brocade's objective is to fulfill its obligations under the RoHS Directive by eliminating all banned substances from its products in accordance with the deadlines and exemptions in the RoHS Directive.

* The RoHS Directive, however, excludes from the substance ban a series of "applications," including the use of lead in solders for servers, storage, and storage array systems. To get more information on Brocade RoHS Compliance, Contact Us.
