Are MSI sensors RoHS compliant?

The scope of the Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE) plays a role in determining what electronic devices must comply with the RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC. Pursuant to Annex IA, MSI product falls under Category 9 (Monitoring and Control Instruments), which is currently exempt from RoHS compliance under Article 2 of the Directive 2002/95/EC. Certain of our sensors designed for use in high temperature, hazardous locations necessitate the use of leaded, high melting point solder. Directive 2002/95/EC permits the use of high temperature leaded solders. Although it is not currently a requirement per the WEEE directive, MSI has determined proper steps to bring our sensors into compliance with the RoHS directive. If you determine that RoHS compliance is necessary to meet your requirements, please contact us directly to discuss in detail.
