PI-72-04 EnerChip Standards Compliance
Note that batteries are not included within the scope of RoHS but instead are covered under the Battery
Directive 2006/66/EC. However, since EnerChips are solid state devices like other integrated circuits in a
product.
Cymbet has reviewed the formulations of the EnerChip™ and this review revealed that the Cymbet EnerChip™
does not use any cadmium, lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBBs and PBDEs in formulation of the
products. And none of the ingredients for our products exhibit contamination by these heavy metals.
On the basis of collected data, Cymbet has determined all EnerChip products comply with the limits established
in the EU’s directives on “RoHS”. Since EnerChip devices are RoHS tested compliant they should be treated
in the same fashion as other WEEE components for end-of-life disposal purposes. Cymbet has tested all
EnerChip products and documented them to be tested RoHS compliant.
Section III - China RoHS SJ/T 11363-2006
Cymbet Products are compliant with the China Requirement for Concentration Limits for Certain Hazardous
Substances in Electronic Information Products, SJ/T 11363-2006 [China RoHS]. To minimize the environmental
impact, The People’s Republic of China limits or prohibits the use of certain hazardous substances, which
include lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, mercury, polybrominated biphenyls [PBBs] and polybrominated
diphenyl ethers [PBDEs] in the electrical and electronic equipment. To achieve reduction of these substances,
the People’s Republic of China has created a requirement SJ/T 11363-2006. Per this requirement, the
following limits have been imposed: lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBBs and PBDEs: 0.1% w/w;
cadmium: 0.01% w/w.
Cymbet has reviewed the formulations of all released products as of March 19, 2012. This review revealed
that the Cymbet products do not use any cadmium, lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBBs and PBDEs in
formulation of the products. And none of the ingredients for our products exhibit contamination by these heavy
