Certication and Standards

The equipment described in this document is designed for evaluation and laboratory use, as well

as for the integration into electronic devices. The customer is responsible to take all necessary

precautions to full regulations and laws of end-customer and target market.

Technical Support

The technical equipment described in this document, be it hardware or software, is delivered as it is

and does not include any obligations to FRAMOS to provide technical customer support. Technical

support is granted on a per-project basis arbitrary by FRAMOS.

Handling ESD Sensitive Components

The electronic components like Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) described in this document are

sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and need to be handled with high care in static controlled

environments. It is strongly recommended to follow the general handling practices for ESD sensitive

parts, that include, but are not limited to, the following points:

• Treat all PCBs and components as ESD sensitive

• Assume that you will damage the PCB or component if you are not ESD conscious

• Handling areas must be equipped with a grounded table, oor mats and wrist strap

• A relative humidity level must be maintained between 20% and 80% non-condensing

• PCBs should not be removed from their protective package, except in a static controlled

location

• PCBs must be handled only after personnel have grounded themselves via wrist straps and

mats

• PCBs or components should never come in contact with clothing

• Try to handle all PCBs only by their edges, preventing contact with any components

WARNING This kit contains electrostatic-sensitive devices (ESD). Observe ESD handling precautions to

avoid damaging the equipment.

CE-Declaration

This equipment is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the

following RoHS Directives: Directive 2011/65/EU and (EU) 2015/863.

RoHS

The RoHS Directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) complements the WEEE Directive by

severely restricting the presence of specic toxic substances in electronic equipment at the design

phase, thereby reducing the environmental impact of discarding such products at the end of

their useful life. FRAMOS Technologies d.o.o. is committed to complying with this Directive and

has worked in collaboration with its suppliers to evaluate the new restrictions, to identify relevant

exemptions, and to substitute environmentally benign, compliant alternative materials in its product

components and manufacturing processes. Subject to the available exemptions, FRAMOS

Technologies d.o.o. products were compliant with the RoHS Directive for its products.

Materials declarations comply with EN 63000:2018 requirements for RoHS Technical Documentation.

EU Declaration of conformity according to RoHS are issued on customer demand.

REACH

FRAMOS neither manufactures nor imports chemical substances.

FRAMOS is well aware of:

• The requirements of REACH regulation of the European Council (EC) No. 1907/2006

• The SVHC Candidate List

• Our obligations concerning safety datasheets as well as informing customers

WEEE

The WEEE Directive obliges manufacturers, importers, and/or distributors of electronic equipment

to label the equipment for recycling and to provide for recycling of the electronic equipment at the

end of its useful life. FRAMOS is committed to complying with the WEEE Directive (as implemented

in each EU member state). In accordance with the requirements of the Directive, FRAMOS

Technologies d.o.o. has labelled its electronic products that are shipped. The WEEE label and

instructions for disposal are as follows:

Instructions for Disposal of Waste Equipment by Users in the European Union

This symbol on the product or its packaging indicates that this product must not be disposed of with

other waste. Instead, it is your responsibility to dispose of your waste equipment by handing it over

to a designated collection point for the recycling of electrical waste and electronic equipment. The

separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of disposal will help conserve

natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the

environment. For more information about where you can drop off your consumer waste equipment

for recycling, please contact your local city recycling ofce or the dealer from whom you originally

purchased the product.

Electro Magnetic Compliance (EMC)

The FRAMOS Sensor Module Ecosystem are OEM components/devices and are provided at

the open board level. Electrical components with open design do not comply with standards for

electromagnetic compatibility as the unshielded circuitry enables electromagnetic interference with

other electronic devices.

The FRAMOS Sensor Module (FSM) Ecosystem consists of FRAMOS Sensor Modules, Adapters,

Software, and Sources. It provides one coherent solution supporting the whole process of integrating

image sensors into embedded vision products.

Within the development phase, electrical design references and driver sources provide guidance

with a solid and proven baseline to quickly port into individual system designs, decreasing risk and

efforts.

Reference implementations and sample applications deliver images immediately after installation

with V4L2 support, and provide comfortable integration at full control.

FRAMOS is an imaging expert, trusted advisor,

and vision solutions provider. Since 1981,

FRAMOS implements the best current and

emerging imaging technologies to address

specic customer requirements and applications.
