 RoHS Compliance
RoHS (European Directive 2002/95/EC on Restriction of the Use of
Certain Hazardous Substances) is European legislation that restricts
the levels of Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent Chromium,
Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB) and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers
(PBDE) present in electrical and electronic equipment sold in the
European Union, commencing July 1, 2006. All Lee Spring Stock
Products, with the exception of Cadmium Plated MIL-SPEC Springs,
comply with the RoHS Directive.
 REACH Compliance
REACH (Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and
Restriction of Chemicals) refers to European Union Regulation No
1907/2006. The aim of REACH is to ensure a high level of protection
of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed
by chemicals. All Lee Spring Stock Products, with the exception of
Cadmium Plated
MIL-SPEC Springs, comply with this regulation.
While the vast majority of Lee Spring Custom Products are also RoHS
and REACH compliant, please note that certain specifications
requested by our customers may not be compliant. Lee Spring only
manufactures products that are not in compliance with these
regulations upon customer request and can advise customers on RoHS or
REACH compliance
issues if there is any uncertainty.
DFARS Compliance
DFARS 252.225-7014, Alt.1 prohibits prime government contractors and
all suppliers at every tier from incorporating "specialty metals" (as
defined in the clause) into military parts, components and/or end
item deliverables unless the
specialty metals have been:
• melted in the United States
• its outlying areas, or
• a qualifying country listed in DFARS 225.872-1.
Articles manufactured in a qualifying country, regardless of where
the specialty metal may have been melted, are not subject to the
requirement.
Based on the definition of "specialty metals", as given in DFARS
252.225-7014, Music Wire Hard Drawn MB, and
Oil Tempered MB spring wire are excluded from this requirement.
However, Stainless Steel 301, Stainless Steel 302,
Stainless Steel 316, Stainless Steel 17-7, and Oil Tempered Chrome
Silicon are considered "specialty metals"
(are not excluded) and therefore may be restricted for use under
DFARS 252.225-7014.
Not all of the wire used by Lee Spring in the manufacture of our
products is melted in the United States or in any of the other
qualifying countries. Should the products you need fall under the
DFARS 252.225-7014 requirement, you will need to contact Lee Spring
Customer Service or Engineering so that your requirement can be
processed as a custom transaction. This may involve an increase in
price, lead time, or both, on a case by case basis, depending on the
availability of a suitable supply of the restricted alloy required.
MS (Material Traceability)
All Stock Spring products are available with Material Traceability
certification; these products should be designated with the suffix
MS. There is a documentation surcharge included in the price. Please
contact Lee Spring for pricing.
All Custom Spring products are available with Material Traceability
certification. Please be sure to specify your requirement
for these documents when placing a custom order.
Export Regulations
All Lee Spring Stock products are exempt from and therefore compliant
with the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) (22 CFR
120-130). Note that any customer required modifications to form, fit
or function specifically for a military application would preclude
such exemption.
MIL-SPEC Springs
Lee Spring now stocks the complete line of products meeting Military
Standards Compression Springs (AS24585)
and Extension Springs (AS24586).
