RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive)

RoHS, or the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, is a regulation that limits the use of certain dangerous materials in electronic and electrical equipment. Its goal is to protect human health and the environment by reducing substances like lead, mercury, cadmium, and flame retardants in products such as computers, phones, and appliances. Manufacturers must ensure their products comply with these restrictions, promoting safer, environmentally responsible technology. RoHS helps prevent hazardous substances from entering waste streams and ecosystems, encouraging the development of safer, greener electronics worldwide.
