RoHS Statement
Baldor to comply with the
RoHS Directive
ahead of July 1, 2006 deadline |
May 8, 2006
As an advocate for conservation and preservation of the world’s natural
resources, and in response to the legislative directives set forth by the European
Communities regarding the restricted use of certain hazardous substances and
the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment, Baldor has completed
evaluation of all products, processes and the potential impact upon our business.
Through the due diligence of our engineering and purchasing groups, and with
our suppliers’ support, we will meet the RoHS Directive ahead of the
July 1, 2006 deadline.
Effective July 1, 2006, all new Baldor products that fall within the scope
of the Directive, will be free of or contain no more than the permitted quantities
of the following hazardous substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium,
polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated dipheynl ethers. For
products which compliance is not legally required, Baldor will continue efforts
to meet the RoHS material restrictions covered by the Directive as soon as
reasonably practical.
The RoHS Directive does not currently apply to medical devices, monitoring
and control instruments, large-scale stationary industrial tools, spare parts
for the repair or reuse of electrical and electronic equipment placed on the
market before July 1, 2006, equipment relating to protection of essential interests
of state security, weapons, ammunition and military equipment designed for
specifically military purposes, power generation, or to other exempted applications,
generally for technical reliability or safety reasons.
Baldor is committed to producing only the highest quality and most reliable
products available, and will continue to meet or exceed the expectations and
requirements of our customers without compromise.
Additional information regarding the RoHS and WEEE directives will be posted
on Baldor’s website at www.baldor.com.

Baldor office for additional information.
