PacketTrap Compliance and Certifications

Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN)

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive ("WEEE")

The European Union has enacted a directive entitled the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive ("WEEE") relating to electronic waste management. WEEE requires electrical and electronics manufacturers to provide mechanisms to allow for the recycling or reuse of their products at retirement. The purpose of this directive is to reduce the waste arising from electrical and electronic equipment within the member states of the European Union.

PacketTrap provides recycling support for our equipment to comply with WEEE. We have established recycling partnerships with designated third parties and PacketTrap channel partners that allow customers/end users to send their products to designated locations in their country for pickup. PacketTrap will arrange for the pick up and transportation to a certified recycling location for recycling in an environmentally responsible manner as required by WEEE.

PacketTrap products are marked with the WEEE symbol and include the symbol in their documentation. Producer registration activities are in progress or planned in countries within the European Union where registration is required and available. Regulations related to reuse and recycling program are evolving in each market we serve. As new information becomes available, this compliance statement will be modified.

Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment ("RoHS")

The European Union has enacted a directive effective July 1, 2006 entitled Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Eqiupment ("RoHS"). This directive restricts the use of certain materials that are commonly found in electronic products. RoHS prohibits the sale into the European Union of electronic equipment containing certain amounts of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated byphenyls and polybrominated diphenylethers. RoHS applies to all electrical and electronic equipment with some exemptions. Specific exemptions apply to certain product types where appropriate alternative materials do not currently exist.

PacketTrap will work with its component suppliers and contract manufacturers to eliminate all chemicals classified as hazardous and to reduce our usage of other material below the levels required by RoHS.

Regulations associated with RoHS compliance are evolving and specific requirements are in a state on continued refinement. RoHS allows for a lead-in-solder exemption and PacketTrap products qualify for that exemption as defined in the annex section of the directive. As the regulations evolve, this compliance statement will be modified to reflect the most complete up-to-date information on the state of our RoHS activities.
