Chinese ROHS

2/27/2007, Extreme Networks today announced that their products have achieved compliance with China's new environmental regulation, scheduled to take effect March 1, 2007. Extreme Networks® complete portfolio of networking solutions, including its award-winning BlackDiamond® and Summit® Ethernet switching platforms, manufactured on or after March 1, 2007, will be compliant withthis regulation.
China RoHS legislation, issued by the Chinese Ministry of Information Industry (MII), requires the labeling of Electronic Information Products with a China-compliant graphic and date of manufacture, declaring and documenting the hazardous material content of our products for six specific chemicals, and the labeling of outer packaging with appropriate recycling symbols.
The real name of the so called China ROHS is "Method on pollution controlling of Electronic information products". Accroding to this method, all products without hazardous material will have a gree e label, and those products with hazardoous material will have a orange warning label. Basicly, all hazardous material that EU ROHS regulation doesn't allow to use is limited in China ROHS regulation.
