Parvus Releases Statement on RoHS Compliance

"Parvus Corporation today announced it has released a compliance statement relating to the European Unions Reduction of Hazardous Substances (ROHS) legislation. The full RoHS statement and production roadmap are available online at http://www.parvus.com/uploads/Parvus_RoHS.pdf "While the EU RoHS policy applies officially to only the European Community (EC), the majority of non-EC companies are also transitioning to "lead-free", due in part to the effect on the global electronics supply chain. Consequently, many electronic components may be phased-out or redesigned since many components will only be available in a lead-free format. Parvus anticipates that it will soon become increasingly difficult to source and manufacture products that are in fact not lead-free, and that the industrys focus should be on reliability assurance of those lead-free products."
