What is RoHS?

RoHS stands for Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment. It is a European Union Directive for specified products placed on the internal market of the European Union. The Directive restricts the use of the following materials:

• Lead
• Mercury
• Cadmium
• Chromium (VI)
• Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
• Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE s)
