Woodward has taken the position that EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS) is not applicable to the electrical
and electronic equipment that Woodward sells. Woodward understands that its electrical and electronic
equipment products as supplied to our customers are properly regarded as being "monitoring and control
instruments" within the meaning of Category 9, as set out in Annex IA to Directive 2002/96/EC.
As referenced in Article 2 of the RoHS Directive, the Directive currently applies to
"Categories 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, and 10," but does not include Category 9.
Therefore, Woodward regards the RoHS Directive as not applying to Woodward products as supplied
to our customers.
If a customer believes that the RoHS requirements need to be addressed
for a Woodward electrical or electronic equipment product, either within the
meaning of RoHS or by reason of other requirements considered applicable, the
customer should contact their Woodward account manager or representative. The
request for adherence to any such requirements of RoHS should be presented as a
proposal to Woodward and addressed contractually on a bilateral basis.
Any customer questions regarding this issue should be addressed to the customer's
Woodward account manager or representative.
