15. EU RoHs directive
The EU RoHs directive has been transposed into law in the UK and Ireland with effect from 1 July 2006. The directive sets out certain restrictions on which substances electronic and electrical equipment may contain, and makes it illegal to put on the market products that do not comply with the directive.

We have used reasonable efforts to ensure that we and our suppliers comply with the directive, however, due to the diversity of the products and the lack of common approach by some of our suppliers, we are not able to ensure that all products we deliver to you after 1 July 2006 will be fully compliant with the substance ban set forth in the directive.

When placing an order with t&s after 1 July 2006 you should generally expect that the products can be legally sold in the UK but t&s does not guarantee that this is the case and that all products are compliant. T&S disclaims any liability with respect to its suppliers’ non-compliance with the RoHs directive.
