HKAEL
Commitment
HKAEL recognizes the European legislation on environmental issues.
After the establishment of two new directives on January 27, 2003,
known as WEEE (Waste from Electrical & Electronic Equipment) & RoHS
(Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances), many of our customers
in the various businesses are affected.
In order to assist you in understanding the implications of WEEE and
RoHS, HKAEL will provide you with up-to-date information on this
website.
RoHS
HKAEL has been conducting exhaustive testing of it products to
ensure that all materials are compliant with RoHS. This includes
tracing any materials used through the supply chain and validating
that they are all compliant with the RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.
HKAEL commits to be compliant with this directive by July 1st 2006,
or earlier.
WEEE
HKAEL is working together with the local organizations to set up a
recycling process for our products supplied into the EU at the end
of live in order to comply with the WEEE directive 2002/96/EC by
August 13th, 2005. We will inform you on a regular basis on the
status of this process in every EU member state.
