Environmental Declaration

Zarlink Semiconductor prescribes to its manufacturing subcontractors the processes that they must use. Accordingly Zarlink can confirm to its customers that the integrated circuits which it supplies (“Zarlink IC’s”), comply with the following material content levels:

Element /Compound	Limit	Comments
Pb	1000ppm	Only applicable if Zarlink IC is stated to be Pb-free
Hg	1000ppm	trace impurity only
Cd	100ppm	trace impurity only
Cr+6	1000ppm	trace impurity only
Polybrominated biphenyl (PBB’s)	1000ppm	no intentional use
Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE’s)	1000ppm	no intentional use

The limits set out above are those required to comply with the European Union Directive for Restriction of Hazardous Materials. In many instances the actual concentrations in Zarlink IC’s are significantly below these limits.

Zarlink Semiconductor further confirms that Zarlink IC’s do not contain the following prohibited substances:

Asbestos
Azo compounds, dyes and pigments forming amines
Chlorinated paraffins.
Formaldehyde
Mirex
Organic tin compounds
Ozone depleting substances
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s)
