About environmentally-compliant products
We engage in international initiatives for environmental load substance reduction and abide by international regulations (RoHS Directive, ELV Directive, etc.) as part of efforts to develop and commercialize products with a low environmental load. In accordance with revisions to the RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU), four new substances were added to the scope of applicability. As a result, as of July 2019, 10 substances are applicable to regulations. We have already reviewed our external sleeve materials and completed measures to ensure compliance.

- Please contact us if you desire materials other than the above-mentioned outer sleeve materials (There are certain sizes we are unable to provide).
In principle, available colors of our PET sleeves are limited to black, brown, and dark blue. There are certain colors we are unable to provide so please contact us for details.
Furthermore, the standard specification for snap-in type PVC-free components is to have "no resin plate" on the pressure valve side. - Contact us for information concerning available flame resistance grades for outer sleeves.
