Hi Ignatius,

I have transferred your post to this section which addresses all issues on restricted substances.

Regarding your question, the European Directive on PFOS is different from the one that you mentioned for Hexavalent Chromium,Cadmium, Mercury and Lead. These ones are covered under the Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS).

Do you supply to Matsushita? PFOS is not part of the original RoHS (the six items you listed). Have a look at one of the self explanatory links: European PFOS restrictions.

If you deal with Matsushita, have you seen this attached document?
