RoHS Directive

The RoHS Directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is a regulation that limits the use of specific harmful chemicals in electronic and electrical equipment sold in the European Union. Its goal is to reduce environmental impact and health risks associated with electronic waste by ensuring products contain minimal levels of substances like lead, mercury, cadmium, and certain flame retardants. Manufacturers must test and certify their products comply with these restrictions, promoting safer, more eco-friendly electronics. RoHS helps protect consumers, workers, and the planet from toxic hazards linked to electronic devices.
