It's our objective to have all products converted into RoHS compliance before RoHS Directives effected in 2006. The company has set forth its RoHS conversion plan since July 2004. The first RoHS compliance product has been assessed by third party laboratory with successful qualification. The report verifies the facts that AVALUE is capable to monitor RoHS manufacturing process, and its manufacturing quality achieve 100% lead-free quality.
