Our Robotics products fall under Category 9 ("monitoring and control equipment including industrial use"), and must comply with the RoHS Directive when sold in Europe. To adhere to the regulations, we respond to requirements such as issuing the RoHS Certificate of Compliance and affixing the RoHS compliance mark to our robots/controllers. ![]() |

The European chemical substance regulation, REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), requires the registration of chemical substances when manufacturing and importing, the transfer of information and notification about the inclusion of hazardous substances (such as substances of very high concern, SVHC) in products, content limitations on restricted substances in products, and other obligations. In response to the regulations, we process the transfer of information using the SCIP database (Substances of Concern In articles as such or in complex objects (Products)) in accordance with the European Waste Framework Directive, which became mandatory from January 2021, and we also respond to requirements such as issuing the REACH Declaration of Conformity and transferring information on SVHCs contained in our products. |
The European directive related to electrical and electronic equipment waste, WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment), requires member countries and manufactures of electrical and electronic waste to register with the member state authorities, establish a waste disposal system, affix the WEEE mark to products, and other obligations. To comply with the regulations, our Robotics products meet these obligations for our direct sales countries within the EU. Additionally, we encourage proper waste disposal by affixing the WEEE mark to our robots/controllers. |

China RoHS (Administrative Measures for the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products) requires: 1) affixing the contamination control mark and 2) displaying a list indicating the presence or absence of each target substance. To meet the regulations, we have implemented the following measures for our Robotics products and are in compliance with laws and regulations. ① Affix the contamination control mark within the product label of the robots/controllers and to the instruction manuals for China. ② Display a list indicating the presence or absence of each target substance in the instruction manuals for China. |

Furthermore, in addressing laws and regulations related to substances of concern, such as the U.S. TSCA, the POPs Treaty, and international conventions, we promptly obtain regulatory information and data on the harmfulness of chemicals from environmental regulation research companies and implement regulatory compliance accordingly.
We also utilize an industry-standard tool for chemical compliance management (such as chemSHERPA) to obtain and examine information on substances contained in products and provide products that comply with laws and regulations.
The following robots and robot-related products in our Robotics products conform to the laws and regulations listed below.
