2.1.3 European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, restricts the presence of chemical substances, including
Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, PBB and PBDE, in electronic products, 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 representations 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 operating procedures that ensure that restricted
substances are not utilized in our manufacturing operations, laboratory analytical validation testing, and an internal auditing process to
ensure that all standard operating procedures are complied with.
