RoHS

RoHS, or restriction of hazardous substances, is a directive adopted by the European Union (EU) to combat the environmental impact of electronic and electrical equipment. Introduced in 2003 and subsequently updated, the RoHS directive aims to reduce the use of hazardous materials in the production of such equipment.

This directive prohibits the use of specific harmful substances, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). These things are known to have a negative impact on human health and the environment, especially when electronic devices reach the end of their life and are disposed of improperly.

RoHS compliance is mandatory for manufacturers and suppliers of electrical and electronic products in the EU market. This guideline has greatly contributed to the reduction of hazardous waste, by promoting recycling and proper disposal of electronic equipment. Companies must ensure that their products meet RoHS standards, often through testing and certification processes.

RoHS not only benefits the environment, but also improves consumer safety by reducing exposure to harmful substances. Despite its original scope in the EU, RoHS has affected similar standards around the world, as many countries and regions have adopted or adapted their own versions of the directive to align with global efforts for manufacturing and environmental practices. residence.
