What the 10 with the two arrows really mean on the bottom of your camera

A few weeks back a post stating that the attached symbol ment that the manufacturer will repair a camera for 10 years after it is discontinued. Well that wasn't true. I contacted Nikon and Canon, they said it is a recycle symbol but couldn't tell me for what. After a lot of research I found the answer. It is the Chinese recycle symbol for "Administrative Measures for the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products". Known as EU RoHS

The overview is right there, in the screen print of the ROHS website (above).
If you are struggling to understand the words above, think Hexavelent Chromium, PG&E lawsuits, and the movie "Erin Brockovich". That's one of the substances ROHS Countries have agreed they will not export inside equipment to other Countries... All sounds like a good thing to me.

Yes, it's complicated.

I don't understand this at all. It looks like you can buy the labels.

If it is a Chinese recycle label how come my "Made in Japan" Fuji camera has it?

Because it is being sold in China. They require it.
"China RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), officially known as Administrative Measure on the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products[1] is a Chinese government regulation to control certain materials, including lead.
All items shipped to China now have to be marked as to whether the items contained in the box are compliant or non-compliant. The Electronic Information Products (EIP) logo or other label is used to mark parts and assemblies that do not contain unacceptable amounts of substances identified by the regulations, and that are environmentally safe. Units that do contain hazardous substances are marked with the EIP logo including an Environment Friendly Use Period (EFUP) value in years."
