NOTES:

1. Products included / excluded are examples based upon member inquiries but do not represent an exhaustive list of all obligated products by category. Members must assess products against the definitions of each obligated product category to determine the applicability and appropriate EHF, and may consult the program for assistance in clarification where required.

2. Products identified as ‘Included in the Obligated Category’ are subject to the EHF for that category; Products identified as ‘Not Included in the Obligated Category’ are not subject to the EHF for that category, however, members must consider all obligated product categories to determine if the product meets the definition of another obligated product category.

3. There are two instances where multiple obligated products may be packaged by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in a single physical package carrying a single SKU (stock-keeping unit) and be subject to one EHF for the entire package of products: a. Where the product definition above specifically includes multiple obligated products, or b. Where a product is comprised of different functional components that are sometimes sold separately, but in this case are integrated into a single operating unit. In this instance the integrated product carries the single highest EHF. Examples include: Phase I • All-in-One computer system (desktop CPU with integrated display device) • Display device with integrated video player (DVD, VCR, Blu-ray, etc.) • / Scanner / Fax (all-in-ones)

Phase II • Multiple drive players integrated into a single device – e.g. DVD & VCR player • Fax machine with a corded telephone handset • Telephone with built-in answering machine • Security display monitor with built-in digital video recorder (DVR)

4. The list of Product Definitions and Clarifications may be revised periodically by the Program.
