  Hi YinBin Ng  All available regulatory certifications for RealSense cameras are available at the link below.

  https://realsenseai.com/regulatory-information/

   

  If a particular certification is not listed on this page then please assume that RealSense cameras have not been tested for it.

   

  SOR/2014-254 appears to be a Canadian regulation.  The data sheet document for RealSense 400 Series cameras provides the following regulatory information about the Canadian market on page 126 of the current edition.

  I located an Intel document from 2021 affirming the RealSense D455 camera's conformity with the European RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulation.  The RoHS restricted substance list includes mercury.

  Based on that link, I located the declaration of conformity with RoHS for the D435.

  Hi MartyX Grover, thanks for all the helpful info.

  I located the MDDS for D435, and need some help on understanding the MDDS.

  If the declarable HM is stated "false" for "Above Threshold? (T/F)" column, and 0.00 or empty for "substance mass", does this means the HM is not used in the product?

  While HM with a stated "substance mass" means HM is used.

  A non-RealSense Intel document at the link below about the Above Threshold field in an MDDS document states that "Under the RoHS table, the False response to the Above Threshold (T/F) query indicates the substance is not present above threshold.  If a substance is above threshold, the response will be True and the substance mass percentage data and exemption information (if applicable) will also be provided".

  https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000059794/services/quality-regulatory-ecology.html

   

  The example MDDS table at the bottom of that document, where all of the Above Threshold fields are False and all of their Substance Mass fields empty, suggests to me - though I am not an expert on the subject of MDDS - that if the Threshold is False and Mass % of HM is empty then that element is indeed absent from the product.
