RoHS certification confirms material compliance

Environmental certification to RoHS means the reader meets restrictions on hazardous substances. This allows deployment in facilities with strict procurement policies on electronic equipment composition. No additional software or drivers are mentioned in the supplied data.

USB interface dictates host compatibility
