China RoHS Phase One requires labeling of end item Electronic
Information Products (EIPs) with an Environmental Protection
Use Period (EPUP). The China RoHS directive has a hazardous
material chart showing the six substances registered
which should not be above the threshold values. The
China RoHS requirement went into effect for all end
item EIP manufactured after March 1, 2007.
2.
China RoHS Phase Two has a requirement of maximum concentration
values for all products that are identified. China has
not release the catalog of the levels or concentrations.
Xmultiple will comply as the China RoHS list is made
available.

Products under Section 4 (General Rules) commonly referred
to as "China RoHS" it states: "for electronic
information products purchased for use as components
in production, it is fine for the supplier not to perform
the marking on the provided product."
Xmultiple
as a supplier of connectors and components which are
used in production electronic parts as well as assemblies
will comply with the law per Section 4 and therefore
has no plans to provide labeling on products. However,
Section 4 of the law continues: "but the supplier
must provide the purchaser with all the information
needed for marking [of the finished goods]."
Xmultiple
does provide this information on our website. Xmultiple
has adapted the use of the China RoHS packaging/labeling

thresholds in the China RoHS legislation. The
substances and their thresholds are:
- Lead (Pb) 0.1% (or 1000 ppm)
- Mercury 0.1% (or 1000 ppm)
- Hexavalent Chromium (Cr+6) 0.1% (or 1000 ppm)
- Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB) 0.1% (or 1000
ppm)
- Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) 0.1% (or

The
50 Pb symbol indicates that the part contains
lead contain which is above the prescribed threshold.
This 50 symbol also refers to the Environmental
Protection use Period (EPuP). EPuP defines the
period in which the toxic and hazardous substances
or elements contained in the electronic information
products are in normal use,. These substances
or elements will not leak out or undergo abrupt
change. In addition. the use of the electronic
information product by an electronic information
product user will not result in serious pollution
to the environment or result in serious personal
injury or property damage with regard to the user.
The use of lead in these products will for 50+
years not result in a detrimental environmental
impact while use.
