Semtech Corporation has analyzed its products and manufacturing processes to ensure compliance with "halogen free" initiatives. Key findings include:

Majority of Semtech products meet the definition of halogen free or halogen low
Semtech has defined a "best practice" for chemical analysis of materials for halogen content
The company has begun replacing materials that do not meet the definition of halogen free
Allowable limits for halogen substances are:
+ Chlorine (Cl): <900 ppm
+ Bromine (Br): <900 ppm
+ Br + Cl: <1500 ppm

The company maintains a comprehensive RoHS Compliance table on its website, including links to signed Material Declaration Certificates
Semtech warrants its products identified as "RoHS / WEEE compliant, Pb-Free and Halogen Free" to comply with 2011/65/EU and Joint Industry Guide 101, Level A and Level B criteria.
