Executive Summary As a global supplier of electronic equipment, Cisco is responsible for the management of materials within our products. Global environmental regulations and Cisco’s interest in reducing the impact of the materials used in our products and in our supply chain have helped spur the development of products that use environmentally preferable materials. The purpose of this specification is to establish and communicate Cisco’s substance use, reporting and documentation requirements.
Scope This specification applies to products (e.g., materials, parts, finished products) supplied to Cisco or to third parties on Cisco’s behalf, (collectively “products”), and/or their manufacturing processes. It outlines Cisco’s controlled substances, including restricted substances, exemptions to restrictions, substances to be reported and/or phased out or to be watched for potential future restriction, and documentation requirements. Note that for packaging and batteries/battery-containing products, both this specification and Cisco’s Environmental Packaging Specification (EDCS-886022 – the “Packaging Specification”) or Cisco’s Compliance Specification for Batteries and Products Containing Batteries (EDCS-627058 – the “Battery Specification”) apply respectively. However, in the event of a conflict, the Packaging or Battery specifications shall govern.
Policy Statement
Requirements are defined in the sections outlined below:
• Section 1.1. Substances Restricted in Products o Table-1a – Restricted Substances List o Table-1b – Restricted Substance Exemptions
• Section 1.2. Assessment Substances o Table-2 - Assessment Substances List
• Section 2.1. Conformance Verification o 2.1.1. Documentation
Potentially applicable waivers are described in Section 2.2 - Waivers.
1.1. Substances Restricted in Products Unless otherwise specified, the intentional addition of substances listed in Table-1a below, or their presence above the Maximum Concentration Value (MCV) in Table-1a at the homogeneous material level, is restricted. If a substance exceeds the MCV, a valid applicable exemption must be utilized. Unless otherwise specified, utilized exemptions shall be strictly limited to those listed in Table-1b, and conform to the numberings and descriptions therein. Prior to the applicable Cisco Date, suppliers using restricted substances and/or exemptions must complete Cisco’s qualification process for all affected Manufacturer Part Numbers (MPNs), and cease shipment of products claiming restricted substances and/or exemptions. Affected MPNs shall not be shipped past their Cisco Date.
