Europe - Pathway Connectivity has announced that it will begin shipment of fully qualified RoHS-compliant products in the first quarter of 2006. The RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive, which is often referred to as Lead-Free legislation, is intended to restrict the use of not just lead, but a variety of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Compliance must be met for all products containing electrical or electronic components placed in the European Union market as of 1 July this year.

Pathway has a demonstrated commitment to protecting people and the environment and the company has been following the development of these directives for a number of years. In early 2004, Pathway began working on a RoHS compliance strategy. This included an evaluation of compliance as well as component substitution and re-engineering where necessary to incorporate only components and manufacturing processes that meet the RoHS directive. Additionally, all relevant Pathway staff have undergone RoHS training.
