Applicable Scope

The products that Omron Industrial Automation Business are assembled into other electrical and electronic equipment for use.

The applicable products are those in categories 1 to 7 and category 10 below. As of February 2006, medical equipment (category 8) and monitoring and control equipment (category 9) are exempt. Spare parts for repairing electrical and electronic equipment, and reused components, sold prior to July 1, 2006, are also exempt.

The products that Omron Industrial Automation Business handles include equipment such as PCB inspection devices, which are finished products, and sensors and other equipment, which are assembled into other electrical and electronic equipment for use. Our finished products fall into category 9, so they are exempt from the RoHS Directive as of April 2007. Products such as sensors that are assembled into other equipment for use do not fall into any of the categories, so they are essentially exempt from the RoHS Directive, but care must be taken because they may become subject to the RoHS Directive depending on the category of the finished product into which they are assembled.
