3.1.3 European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, restricts the presence of chemi-
cal substances, including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, PBB and PBDE, in electronic prod-
ucts, effective July 2006. This drive is manufactured with components and materials that comply with the RoHS
Directive.
A number of parts and materials in Seagate products are procured from external suppliers. We rely on the rep-
resentations of our suppliers regarding the presence of RoHS substances in these parts and materials. Our
supplier contracts require compliance with our chemical substance restrictions, and our suppliers document
their compliance with our requirements by providing material content declarations for all parts and materials for
the disk drives documented in this publication. Current supplier declarations include disclosure of the inclusion
of any RoHS-regulated substance in such parts or materials.
Seagate also has internal systems in place to ensure ongoing compliance with the RoHS Directive and all laws
and regulations which restrict chemical content in electronic products. These systems include standard operat-
ing procedures that ensure that restricted substances are not utilized in our manufacturing operations, labora-
tory analytical validation testing, and an internal auditing process to ensure that all standard operating
procedures are complied with.
