Rohs Directive
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive was
adopted in February 2003 by the European Union. The RoHS directive
became effective July 1, 2006. The directive restricts the use of six
hazardous materials in the manufacture of various types of electronic
and electrical equipment. These substances are lead, mercury, cadmium,
hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated
diphenyl ethers. It is closely linked with the Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive which sets collection, recycling,
and recovery targets for electrical goods. A growing number of states
and countries have either already passed or are considering new
legislation and regulations governing the ability of the electronic
industry to ship and sell products worldwide if they are not proactively
developing programs and processes to reduce the environmental impacts of
their products.
