Is HP working on eliminating lead from its products?
HP is committed to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including the restriction of hazardous substances in electronic products. The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive specifies that an electronic product or component may not contain lead, except as specifically provided in the directive. HP has already met the requirements of several of the RoHS legislations currently in effect. We have also met our voluntary internal goal of eliminating or reducing RoHS substances to the EU specified levels for virtually all HP brand electronic products worldwide, except where it is widely recognized that there is no technically feasible alternative as indicated by an exemption under the EU RoHS Directive. HP is in compliance with EU RoHS, Japan RoHS (or J-MOSS), California SB20 and China RoHS phase I labeling requirements. HP continues to plan for similar legislation in other jurisdictions and will meet any additional requirements that arise.
