Automotive Micro Switch Procurement in Germany: Checking ELV Materials
For vehicles placed on the market after 1 July 2003, Germany's End-of-Life Vehicles Ordinance restricts lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium in covered vehicle materials and components, subject to specified EU Annex II exceptions. The requested declaration should identify the offered switch revision and the restricted-substance status of its plating, contact, solder and spring. The vehicle program assesses switching performance at the actual position separately, because switching life is assessed through the vehicle program's separate application tests.
