Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
In March 2006 Centronic Limited completed a two day review with British Standards Institute covering the RoHS Directive. The two day programme was part of BSI’s Pre Assessment RoHS Trusted Service (PARTS) Module which consisted of awareness training and a review of our products. From this assessment the following information has been put together to assist customers in determining Centronic product status.
