NU-WAY
ELECTRONICS RoHS STATEMENT
In February 2003, the
European Union (EU) released a directive regarding the Restriction of Hazardous
Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS). The directive restricts the
use of lead and other materials in electronic equipment sold in the EU beginning July 1,
2006. Nu-Way Electronics supports protecting the environment and serving our customers
effectively. We have many customers who intend to meet the requirements of RoHS, and we
are committed to helping them.
Nu-Way supports the policy outlined by the National Electronic Distributors Association
(NEDA) calling for new part numbers to be assigned to products which comply with the
RoHS directive. At the same time, we are aware that many component manufacturers will
take alternate approaches to identifying RoHS-compliant products. Nu-Way will work with
all of our customers and suppliers to make the transition to RoHS compliance as smooth
as possible.
Nu-Way has created a task force to plan and implement Nu-Way's RoHS response. Their
mission is to develop procedures to:
- Make information available to our customers
- Segregate inventory where necessary
- Label or otherwise identify RoHS compliant products.
We recognize that our customers have immediate need for answers to a wide variety of
questions regarding RoHS compliance. The RoHS compliance status of any individual item
can be provided by Nu-Way on request, to the extent the information is available to us.
Many of our suppliers' web sites also provide useful information. The "Brand Line Card"
section of Nu-Way's web site www.nuway.net provides
links to Nu-Way's component suppliers.
For further information, please contact your Nu-Way sales person or Bill Aldeen,
President of Nu-Way Electronics, at
baldeen@nuway.net.
