Print-Rite’s
Long-Standing Commitment under New Law
Public awareness of product safety continue to rise
as many countries tightened the corresponding product safety regulations.
Effective March 1, 2020, new-built cartridges that violate requirements of the
Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) are no longer ALLOWED in
Russia. This new law once again affirms and reinforces Print-Rite’s unshakable
commitment to making products that comply with the requirements of health,
safety and environmental protection legislation.
Environmental Regulation within the Imaging
Aftermarket
Within the imaging aftermarket, environmental issues have become a huge
issue since it was discovered in 2018 that some aftermarket cartridges
contained elevated levels of decaBDE. Bearing in mind that it is of utmost
importance that companies supply products that are safe to use, Print-Rite is
one of the first aftermarket suppliers to be accredited with QC 080000
demonstrating we are capable of manufacturing decaBDE-free cartridges. (see "QC 080000 Proves Print-Rite is Capable to Manufacture DecaBDE Free"). More broadly, the certification means Print-Rite products are in
compliance with RoHS and REACH directives.
What is RoHS?
RoHS is an abbreviation for Restriction of
Hazardous Substances and it is a directive for the European Union that limits
certain chemical substances from appearing in electrical equipment including
both toner and inkjet cartridges. Navigating through the internet about RoHS
could be a bit overwhelming, we have prepared a handy guide RoHS FAQ in which you can find
more details.
All of Print-Rite products sold in the European
Union meet RoHS requirements
All materials used in Print-Rite’s manufacturing site for production
have been RoHS compliant since January 1, 2006. For decades, our products, from
our toner and inkjet cartridge line to each individual component, are made with
the intention of the highest quality with the lowest environmental impact. By
selecting Print-Rite products, customers can be crystal clear that no hazardous
substances are being used in production and they can avoid the risk of
breaching the relevant law and regulations when selling products across
national borders.
Print-Rite, Your Reliable Partner
With the many global environmental certifications
necessary to legally sell products around the world, Print-Rite customers can
always enjoy complete peace of mind when it comes to environmental safety
standards. We will continue to improve ourselves in this current fast-changing
environment by relentlessly pursuing to attain higher standards of health, safety
and environmental regulations.
