An overview of the
RoHS is a mandatory standard established by European Union legislation. Its full name is the Directive on the Restriction of The Use of Certain Harmful Ingredients in Electrical and Electronic Equipment.The standard, which has been formally implemented since July 1, 2006, is mainly used to regulate materials and process standards for electronic and electrical products to make them more conducive to human health and environmental protection.The objective of the standard is to eliminate lead, mercury, cadmium, hexadecimal chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyls (PBDes) from electronic and electrical products and to increase the number of o-benzene items to 10 substances.
