Introduction to EU RoHS
RoHS is the abbreviation of The Restriction of the use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment ("Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment"). The RoHS directive stipulates that from July 1, 2006, the content of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) exceeding the specified limit levels is prohibited ) Electrical and electronic products with hazardous substances enter the EU.
On June 4, 2015, the European Union issued a directive (EU) 2015/863 in its official gazette to amend RoHS2.0 Appendix II to include four phthalates in RoHS2.0. So far, the restricted substances in RoHS2.0 Appendix II have been increased to ten.
In addition to the European Union, other countries and regions in the world such as China, California, Singapore, India, UAE, and Turkey have also issued RoHS control requirements, making RoHS the most basic entry barrier for electronic and electrical products to enter the global market.
