May 2006 – CML Innovative Technologies (CML-IT) is producing its wide European range of miniature lighting products according to the RoHS (Restriction-on-Hazardous-Substances) directive from the European Commission. All devices are manufactured featuring the same product specifications as before but now comply with the RoHS’ significant limitations on the use of lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium.

All lamps and bulbs in CML-IT’s European product range are manufactured from lead-free glass. Using RoHS compliant chips for the company’s range of Chip LEDs and Power LEDs enables these devices to meet RoHS standards, too.

Being prepared for the RoHS directive has already resulted in business wins for CML-IT: only recently the company was asked by one of its distributors to replace a competitor’s range of not yet RoHS compliant LEDs in their product offering.
