Product stewardship
ams OSRAM is committed to ensuring that its products are in compliance with international regulations and customer requirements in terms of managing hazardous substances.
Environmental Product Stewardship
Our product environmental program controls new product developments as well as existing products steady adhere to these requirements through strong management and validation of ams suppliers and subcontractors.
We follow a ’no step backwards’ policy when developing new products. Hence, we make it our responsibility to consistently improve the efficacy and life of our products and to further reduce their hazardous contents. This way, we assure a process of continuous improvement.
Conflict Minerals Regulations
ams OSRAM does not support the use of conflict minerals (gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten) that are illegally mined or/and contribute to armed conflict or human rights abuses in Conflict Affected and High-Risk Areas (CAHRA) such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and other adjoining countries. Our commitment is to ensure responsible sourcing through the monitoring of our supply chain alongside continuous engagement with our customers. The commitment towards this program is demonstrated with the policy below in the 'Download' section, the conflict minerals reporting (CMRT/EMRT) on business unit level and the monthly update on conflict minerals due dligence procedure.
Semiconductor Products
The Semiconductors segment focuses on semiconductor-based products and solutions such as high-performance LEDs, lasers, and optical sensors for the automotive, consumer, industrial, and medical technology markets.
ams OSRAM is committed to ensuring that its products are in compliance with international regulations and customer requirements in terms of managing hazardous substances.

RoHS - Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances
ams OSRAM Semiconductor products are compliant to the EU RoHS (Directive 2011/65/EU), and amending Directive (EU) 2015/863, and China RoHS, banning the use of Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Hexavalent Chromium (Cr 6), Polybrominated Biphenyl (PBB), Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE), and RoHS Phthalates as Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP), Benzyl Butyl Phthalate (BBP), Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), and Diisobutyl Phthalate (DIBP).
REACH - Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals
ams OSRAM Semiconductor products are free of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) according Article 33 of the REACH Regulation 2006/1907/EC. Refer to the Candidate List of Substances of ECHA here.
California Proposition 65
ams OSRAM semiconductor products may contain one or more chemicals on the California Proposition 65 list. Our semiconductor products are not intended to cause user exposure to any contained substances, nor are they intended to be released or discharged during normal product application and use. Please see the Proposition 65 list here.
Toxic Substance Control Act - TSCA
ams OSRAM semiconductor products are compliant to the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA), which published five final rules to reduce exposure to certain chemicals that are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT). Please see final rules for each of the five PBTs here
Several national authorities of the European Union have submitted a proposal to the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) in January 2023 to restrict all Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under REACH. Certain members of this large group of PFASs chemicals are already subject to EU legislation. Legislation regarding PFAS is also in force or is under preparation in other countries and regions outside the EU. The upcoming legislation regarding PFASs could have a huge impact on the electrical and electronic industry.
Lamps & Systems
The Lamps & Systems segment includes lamps and lighting systems, with a focus on the automotive and industrial end markets.
ams OSRAM is committed to ensuring that its products are in compliance with international regulations and customer requirements in terms of managing hazardous substances.
Our product environmental program controls new product developments as well as existing products steady adhere to these requirements through strong management and validation of ams suppliers and subcontractors.

Disposal and Recycling
We avoid waste wherever possible and prioritize recycling of valuable materials. That is why also our products or products containing our components should to be collected separately and recycled or be disposed of safely in accordance with the WEEE. More Information available in the 'Download' section below.
Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs)
In order to assess the environmental performance of our products, life cycle analyses of selected (historical) ams OSRAM product families were conducted, representing different technologies. The method for these analyses was an assessment following principally the international standards ISO 14040 and 14044.
