WEEE Directive
Black Box is committed to environmentally responsible behavior. As part of this commitment, we have
put in place a product end-of-life management solution that meets the European Union’s Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive. All products shipped from the Black Box manufacturing
facility have the appropriate WEEE markings and qualify for the recycling program. Black Box products
that have reached the end of their useful life are to be recycled. Send all requests for recycling to
info@blackbox.com. Black Box will arrange for pick up and transport to a recycling location that
complies in an environmentally responsible manner with the EU WEEE Directive.

brominated materials.
commonly found in electronic products. Restricted substances are heavy metals, including lead, and poly-
brominated materials.
Black Box has eliminated or substantially reduced its usage of the prohibited materials. However, the
RoHS Directive allows a lead-in-solder exemption for Category 3 Telecommunications Products. It is
Black Box’ position that its network security products qualify for the lead-in-solder exemption.

Black Box is committed to completely eliminating its use of RoHS prohibited materials as that becomes
technically feasible. We are constantly monitoring the availability of lead-free components and the
progress of the lead-free manufacturing processes. We pledge to continually evolve and refine our
products and processes as viable alternatives that do not impact product reliability or performance
become available.
