The limits are coming! New legislation will regulate the presence of hazardous substances in electrical equipment The Environmental Design of Electrical Equipment (EDEEA) Act, currently before Congress, proposes stringent limits on the amount of hazardous materials that can be used in electroindustry products. The materials include lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium and two flame retardants. This legislation will provide a uniform national standard for the United States and help ensure that equipment built to US standards will also comply with ‘Restriction on Hazardous Substance' (RoHS) standards for the European Union and China. This will help American manufacturers access these markets."For manufacturers of electrical equipment that will be covered by this new law, an important step will be to ensure that the components going into their products are fully compliant with the new standards" comments Christian Fell, General Manager of sensor supplier FRABA Inc. ...More >> LDT Sensors Get Interface Module for ControlLogix PLC AMCI releases the only LDT interface module for Allen-Bradley’s ControlLogix PLC.
