Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)

Per the candidate list of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) published October 28, 2008 we have reviewed
these substances and certify the Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. products are compliant per the EU “REACH”
requirements of less than 0.1% (w/w) for each substance. If new SVHC candidates are published by the European
Chemicals Agency, and relevant substances have been confirmed to be greater than 0.1% (w/w), Multi-Tech
Systems, Inc. will provide updated compliance status.

Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. also declares it has been duly diligent in ensuring that the products supplied are compliant
through a formalized process which includes collection and validation of materials declarations and selective
materials analysis where appropriate. This data is controlled as part of a formal quality system and will be made
available upon request.

Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

Multi-Tech Systems, Inc.

Certificate of Compliance

2011/65/EU

Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. confirms that its embedded products comply with the chemical concentration limitations
set forth in the directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament (Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous
Substances in electrical and electronic equipment - RoHS).

These MultiTech products do not contain the following banned chemicals

1

:

Lead, [Pb] < 1000 PPM

Mercury, [Hg] < 1000 PPM

Hexavalent Chromium, [Cr+6] < 1000 PPM

Cadmium, [Cd] < 100 PPM

Polybrominated Biphenyl, [PBB] < 1000 PPM

Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether, [PBDE] < 1000 PPM

Environmental considerations:

Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) =1

Maximum Soldering temperature = 260C (in SMT reflow oven)

1

Lead usage in some components is exempted by the following RoHS annex, therefore higher lead concentration

would be found in some modules (>1000 PPM);

- Resistors containing lead in a glass or ceramic matrix compound.
