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 comply with the RoHS Directive.
While the vast majority of Lee Spring custom products are also RoHS 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 RoHS upon customer request and can advise customers on RoHS 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 and Oil Tempered MB
spring wire are excluded from this requirement. However, Stainless Steel 302, Stainless Steel 316 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 Untied 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, leadtime, 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.

and Extension Springs (MS 24586). Please contact Lee Spring for ordering information and pricing.
