EU RoHS
RoHS is the acronym used to refer to the European Union (EU) Directive 2002/95/EC on the
Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
Hazardous materials are those chemicals and substances that are legislatively, market, or customer
banned or restricted for use in products and/or manufacturing. There are six (6) RoHS substances: lead
(Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr+6), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
and polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDE). Other countries may be introducing legislation that
results in similar restrictions of hazardous substances. Many Exalt products will continue to use lead-
based solder under the exemption allowed for network infrastructure equipment. Small amounts of
lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE can also be found in a few electrical
and electrical components.
