In response to the legal environmental directives being adopted throughout the world, Crydom has established a comprehensive program that is intended to promote product compliance with the new laws. At this time, the key environmental directives are from the European Community and China, with many countries/states either following these directives explicitly or instituting their own variations. RoHS The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union have adopted legislation restricting or banning certain substances in the electrical and electronic equipment. The RoHS Directive states that: "Member States shall ensure that from 1 July, 2006, new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)." This directive is completed by a second directive concerning the management of waste of electrical and electronic equipment.  Crydom Certificate of Compliance

It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances. The new law entered into force on 1 June 2007. The aim of REACH is to improve the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances. At the same time, innovative capability and competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry should be enhanced.
