RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)

RoHS, or the Restriction of Hazardous Substances, is a European Union directive that limits the use of certain hazardous materials in electronic and electrical products. Specifically, it restricts substances like lead, mercury, cadmium, and certain flame retardants, which can be harmful to health and the environment. The goal of RoHS is to reduce the environmental impact of electronics by ensuring that products are safer for consumers and easier to recycle. Compliance with RoHS standards is crucial for manufacturers seeking to sell their products in the EU market.
