Reminder:

The update of RoHS exemption clauses has a great impact on the electrical and electronic industries, especially whether some exemptions frequently used by enterprises will be postponed, which may directly affect the production process and business activities of the enterprise. In order to ensure compliance with the EU market, ZRLK recommends that relevant electronic and electrical manufacturers always pay attention to the revision of the ROHS directive exemption, and replace the exempt materials that are about to expire or have expired in advance to avoid compliance problems caused by the expiration of the exemption.
