Quality Pages {"title":"Product Material Declaration"} Product Material Declaration The MDDS provides information about the product’s composition and its compliance with environmental regulations and relevant substance restrictions. This document will include declaration on the following: EU RoHS - Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. REACH Regulation - Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals. PFAS - Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances content declaration. California Proposition 65 - Identification of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. … and other applicable global substances regulations. Important note on MDDS availability: Altera new products are designed to be fully compliant to the applicable environmental and substance regulations. However, only production released products will have an available MDDS. Altera does not provide MDDS for Pre-release products Engineering samples Obsolete products Search and download the product’s MDDS here: MDDS Collection text_pdf_link Material Declaration Datasheet - MDDS Altera products are designated to be compliant(note 1) with EU Directive 2011/65/EU, commonly referred to as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), and its amendment Directive (EU) 2015/863 which came into effect on July 22, 2019. Please refer to the Altera customer letter for information regarding ROHS compliance. Note: This excludes selected part numbers intentionally built with the leaded termination finish/solder ball to serve specific markets. Altera ROHS Customer Letter (pdf) text_pdf_link ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Altera has been actively monitoring the specifics of the REACH requirements since the EU adoption of Regulation No. 1907/2006 on December 18, 2006. Altera performed an impact analysis that includes the (pre-) registration, notification of substances of very high concern (SVHC), and disclosure of information obligations to the downstream supply chain and the users. Please refer to the Altera customer letter for information regarding the presence of REACH SVHC in Altera products. If you want to know which specific Altera products contain SVHC above threshold, please contact your Altera Representative (Sales or Customer Quality) in your region. Altera REACH Customer Letter (pdf) text_pdf_link Continuous Monitoring of the SVHC List and the SIN List Altera is proactively monitoring the additional substances that are being added to the SVHC List. In addition to that, Altera is monitoring the substances on the Substitute It Now (SIN) List that is published by the EU ChemSec (International Chemical Secretariat) through their web page at http://www.chemsec.org/ . All of Altera's upstream suppliers, including the manufacturing partners and piece parts suppliers, have been informed about the published SVHC and SIN List. Altera uses a very comprehensive Product Ecology database to manage all its material composition for material declaration purposes. The SVHC and the SIN List will continue to be bounced against the items on the database to determine their presence. Provision of Information to the Customer Altera is fully prepared to meet Article 33 of REACh. Customers can download material declarations from Altera's Material declaration page whenever there is a need to disclose articles that contain any of the substances mentioned in the candidate lists above. REACh Annex XVII Altera has completed surveying its supply chain on the use of the substances listed in Annex XVII. None of the substances listed in Annex XVII is used in FPGA devices or the packing material. text_link_content REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization & Restriction of Chemicals) Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic (PBT) chemicals are regulated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in the United States. These are chemicals that persist in the environment, accumulate in living organisms, and pose risks to human health or the environment. This letter provides important information about compliance with this regulation under TSCA Section 6(h).​ Altera US TSCA PBT Letter (pdf)​ text_pdf_link TSCA PBT (Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic) Chemicals The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) is an international treaty designed to protect human health and the environment from harmful chemicals that persist in the environment for long periods. It aims to reduce and ultimately eliminate the production, use, and release of these pollutants, which can travel long distances, accumulate in living organisms, and cause adverse effects. ​ Altera Stockholm Rotterdam POPs Letter (pdf)​ text_pdf_link POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) ​ The term “low-halogen” is currently not mandated as a requirement by any legislation worldwide at the time of this publication. Altera has adopted the definition of the meaning of “low-halogen” from JEDEC JEP 709 as it pertains to solid-state devices. Within Altera, the term “low-halogen” is defined in Clause 4 of JEDEC JEP 709 and is used to identify solid-state devices that contain low concentrations of bromine and chlorine from brominated and chlorinated flame retardants (BFRs, CFRs). JEDEC’s Definition Adopted by Altera The halogens fluorine (F), iodine (I), and astatine (At) are not covered by JEDEC’s guideline. Bromine (Br) and chlorine (Cl) refer to all oxidation states of these elements. Bromine (Br) and chlorine (Cl) in materials that may be used during processing but do not remain within the final product are not included in JEDEC’s definition. According to JEDEC, a solid-state device must meet all the following requirements to be defined as “low-halogen”: All printed board laminates contained within a solid-state device shall meet the “halogen-free” requirements for Br and Cl as defined in the most current version of IEC 61249-2; Each plastic material within the solid-state device (excluding printed board laminates) shall contain <1000 ppm (0.1%) by weight of bromine if the bromine source is from BFRs and <1000 ppm (0.1%) by weight of chlorine if the chlorine source is from CFRs. Higher concentrations of bromine and chlorine are allowed in plastics contained within solid-state devices (other than printed board laminates contained within those devices) as long as their sources are not BFRs, CFRs. Although the elemental analysis for bromine and chlorine can be performed by any analytical method with sufficient sensitivity and selectivity, the presence or absence of BFRs and CFRs, shall be verified by any acceptable analytical techniques and/or material declaration that allow for the unequivocal identification of the specific bromine or chlorine compounds, or by appropriate material declarations agreed to between customer and supplier. The following are Altera's low-halogen devices: Agilex ™ 9, Agilex ™ 7, Agilex ™ 5, Agilex ™ 3 Stratix® IV, Stratix® V, and Stratix® 10 Cyclone® III, Cyclone® IV, Cyclone® V, and Cyclone® 10 Arria® II, Arria® V, and Arria® 10 HardCopy III, HardCopy IV, and HardCopy V MAX® II, MAX® V and MAX® 10 Serial Configuration (EPCS, EPCQ, EPCQ-L, EPCQ-A) Older devices that are not listed here may also be low-halogen devices. Please contact Altera for confirmation. Altera intends to use low-halogen material for all future devices. text_link_content Low-Halogen - 2026-03-10
