Compliance

A number of countries around the world have implemented regulatory restrictions on hazardous substances.

Motorola complies with the European Union's directive on the restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) for electronic products sold in the EU. We have voluntarily extended RoHS requirements to all newly designed mobile phones and many of our mobile and wireless technologies for the enterprise market, regardless of where they are sold worldwide. We have voluntarily extended RoHS requirements for all newly designed mobile phones, video-over-IP set-top boxes and cable modems, many of our mobile and wireless technologies for the enterprise market and some government and public safety products.

For additional information, download our EU RoHS Statement (1 page PDF, 15 KB).

China's Management Methods for Controlling Pollution from Electronic Information Products requires manufacturers to report and label usage of the same six hazardous substances listed in the EU RoHS Directive affective as of March 1, 2007. All Motorola products manufactured after March 1, 2007 and shipped into China comply with the labeling requirements of China Management Methods.
