RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is a new European Directive that became effective on July 1, 2006. Electrical and electronic equipment sold in Europe after this date must comply with the strict regulations in this Directive.
The Directive requires that electrical and electronic equipment sold in the EU does not contain lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) above the legal threshold. This will effect any organisation involved in the production, sale or distribution of electrical and electronic equipment destined for an EU market, such as manufacturers, retailers, brand managers, traders and distributors.
