RoHS Directive

In an effort to protect the health of its citizens and reduce environmental pollution, as of January 27th, 2003, the European Union (EU), approved EU Directive RoHS 2002/95/EC to restrict the use certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. (RoHS is an abbreviation for the Restriction of Hazardous Substance). These restricted substances include:

  • Lead
  • Cadmium
  • Mercury
  • Hexavalent Chromium
  • Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
  • Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)

Specifically, the Directive states that all European Union member countries shall insure that all new equipment and goods sold after July 2006, is compliant with the RoHS initiative.
