Safety Blinkers are RoHS Compliant!
We are very pleased to announce that our Safety Blinkers are environmentally friendly and can be recycled!
We have undertaken rigourous development and testing to ensure that our products contain safe levels of restricted materials as defined in the European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) 2002/95/EC.
By restricting the use of such materials in our products we can assure you that our products are 100% RoHS compliant, and safe for our environment.
Our Safety Blinkers are the only product of its kind that comply with current legislation. Suppliers of similar products may be breaking the law within the EU.
While only a very small contribution, we have done what we can to ensure that our products can be recycled, to help in solving the problem of huge amounts of toxic waste that we have in the world today.
