Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
Directive 2002 / 95 / EC
—commonly known as the
European Union (EU)
Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
—sets limits on the use of certain
substances found in electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of this
legislation is to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals that may leach out of
landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the environment during end-of-life
recycling. The Directive, which took effect on July 1, 2006, refers to the
following hazardous substances:
•
Lead (Pb)
•
Mercury (Hg)
•
Cadmium (Cd)
•
Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)
•
Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
•
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
In accordance with this EU Directive, products sold in the European Union will
be fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” Spare parts supplied for the repair
and upgrade of equipment sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the
legislation. Equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with
a RoHS-compliant symbol, as shown in
