(2) Model numbers of RoHS Directive-compliant products

1. In principle, model numbers of existing products will remain unchanged.
   The functional specifications, performance specifications, and appearance of RoHS Directive-compliant products will not differ from those of existing (non-conforming) products. (As a means of differentiating RoHS Directive-compliant products, product revision numbers will be upgraded and the products will bear the identification mark for RoHS Directive- conformity.)
2. Identification mark to indicate conformity to the RoHS Directive
   All RoHS Directive-compliant products will bear the RoHS Directive conformity identification mark (shown below) recommended by Nippon Electric Control Equipment Industries Association (NECA).  
3. Substitute products and products of later versions
   Model numbers of substitute products and products of later versions will differ from those of existing products.

(3)Lead-free soldered products

With regard to parts used to make products released prior to January 2006, it will not possible to ensure that certain products are RoHS-compliant due to the difficulties associated with removing non-RoHS-compliant substances and the lack of substitute parts.
Wherever possible, RoHS-compliant parts and mountings employing lead-free solder will be used for such products.
Products released in January 2006 or later are all RoHS-compliant.

Mark of conformity for lead-free soldering
This mark will be displayed on lead-free soldered products.

(4) Maintenance/repair parts

Products manufactured before the requirement for conformity to the RoHS Directive may use maintenance/repair parts that do not conform to the RoHS Directive.
