With the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) in
Germany, the European Directives 2002/96/EC (WEEE) and
2002/95/EC (RoHS) are translated into national law. ElektroG
defines the products that are subject to regulated collection
and disposal or reuse in the event of disposal or at the end of
their service life. ElektroG also prohibits the marketing of
electrical and electronic equipment that contains certain
amounts of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium,
polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDE) (also known as hazardous substances with
restricted uses).
The products provided by ABB Automation Products GmbH
do not fall within the current scope of regulations on
hazardous substances with restricted uses or the directive on
waste electrical and electronic equipment according to
ElektroG. If the necessary components are available on the
market at the right time, in the future these substances will no
longer be used in new product development.
