RoHS
What is it all about?
“RoHS” is the common name that has been given to the European Union (EU) Directive 2002/95/EC on the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
TheRoHS directive requires the restriction of SIX substances; the four metals: lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) and two groups of halogenated, organic flame retardants: PBBs (polybrominated biphenyls) and PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers). While most of the industry focus on RoHS compliance has been directed towards lead, and in the promotion of “lead free” goods, it is important to note that the removal and control of lead alone will not achieve RoHS compliance.The restrictions will apply to electro and electronic devices and components sold into, and within, the EU from 1 July 2006.
