Freescale Leads in Helping Customers Meet RoHS Requirements; Ease-of-Use Approach Simplifies Compliance for Freescale Customers

Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE:FSL) (NYSE:FSL.B) is ahead
of the curve in helping customers comply with the European Restriction
of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive set to go into effect 1 July.
The rule sets maximum concentration limits for lead, mercury and other
substances in new electrical and electronic equipment.
   To help customers comply with RoHS rules as seamlessly as
possible, Freescale provides web-based product and material content
declaration data in XML or PDF formats. Customers can easily import
XML content into a database to demonstrate specific RoHS compliance
requirements. Freescale also maintains a searchable online product
catalog and RoHS-specific part numbering systems that streamline the
creation of RoHS-compliant devices and related declaration materials.
   "The breadth and depth of RoHS-specific information that Freescale
provides is unparalleled in the industry," said Vito Farello of Arrow
Electronics. "I use Freescale's online compliance resources several
times each week. They help me save time and simplify compliance as the
1 July deadline approaches."
   RoHSwell, a noted industry resource, further validated Freescale's
customer-focused RoHS compliance programs, ranking the company among
the industry's best at providing customers with comprehensive
compliance information. RoHSwell gave Freescale a perfect 5-out-of-5
rating for its customer-focused compliance programs.
