Advantest's Statement on the EU-RoHS Directive Advantest's Statement on the EU-RoHS Directive

In complying with environmental laws and regulations, the Advantest Group is working toward eliminating the use of hazardous materials while also pursuing environmental conservation efforts that entail reducing consumption of energy and resources. More specifically, we have been working with our suppliers since September 2003 on initiatives to investigate and eliminate the use of restricted hazardous materials.
We are in compliance with the European RoHS Directive*.

Advantest's semiconductor testers and handlers are classified as Large-Scale Stationary Industrial Tools (LSSIT) under the EU-RoHS directive, and as such are exempt from the directive’s provisions. Nevertheless, on the basis of our commitment to environmental conservation, we continue working toward further elimination of hazardous substances from these product lines.
