Ex relevant safety instructions

1.13.2 RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC

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 the directive on waste from 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.
