European Union 2002/95/EC Directive on
the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
In February 2003, the European Union issued Directive 2002/95/EC on the Restriction of Hazardous
Substances, commonly known as RoHS, in certain electrical and electronic equipment. It restricts the use
of six hazardous substances, including lead (Pb).
The Directive states that all products placed on the European market after July 1, 2006 must be compliant
with its requirements.
Planar Systems Inc. is fully in support of and compliant with EU Directive 2002/95/EC on all its products,
except where exempted, such as medical. Should those exemptions be removed in the future, Planar will
comply with such Directives or amendments.
A Planar part number will be modified with an “LF” suffix designation to indicate RoHS compliance, as
shown on the part number label affixed to the display and on the box containing the display.
