At Meridian Cable, we understand the critical importance of accurate and reliable information concerning the materials, components, and subcomponents that comprise our products. Our commitment to safety and compliance necessitates that we rely on our suppliers to provide comprehensive and precise data regarding these materials.
To uphold the integrity of this information, Meridian Cable mandates that our suppliers furnish detailed documentation that adheres to the standards set forth by the RoHS Directive. We diligently handle and process this data with the highest level of care and professionalism to ensure compliance.
Based on the information received from our suppliers to date, and to the best of Meridian Cable's knowledge, we confirm that our products are in compliance with the material restrictions outlined in ROHS Directive 2011/65/EU, including its amendments and annexes, such as Directive (EU) 2015/863, which addresses the restrictions on certain phthalates.
