Although the actuators produced by Belimo do not generally need to comply with the requirements of EU Directive 2002/95/EC, we do, nevertheless, take all necessary steps to ensure that our products are sourced and manufactured in accordance with this EU directive in order to satisfy environmental protection needs.
Valve bodies, as separate, non-electronic items, do not fall within the scope of the RoHS directive. At present, valves made of red casting brass (Rg) still contain >4% lead. Belimo valves are not certified for potable water. The directive allows a lead content of <4%. We are in constant touch with our suppliers and so will be advised immediately when the valve manufacturers start employing different raw materials. Belimo valves supplied from that time onwards will also conform to the requirements of the RoHS directive.
