What is the RoHS?

The European RoHS (Restriction of certain Hazardous Substances) Directive regulates the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). Affecting all companies that market EEE in the European Union, it applies to a range of product categories from various industry sectors.

Commonly referred to as “RoHS 2” or “RoHS Recast”, Directive 2011/65/EU requires EEE manufacturers to ensure that their products do not exceed certain limit values for Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent chromium, Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).

Furthermore, EEE manufacturers need to issue an EU Declaration of Conformity for each product model and the CE labelling of the products. Manufacturers have to keep the EU Declaration of Conformity as well as technical documentation for a period of ten years from the time the electrical or electronic device has been placed on the market (BS EN 50581).

The tasks to be fullfilled in accordance with the RoHS 2 require comprehensive adjustments to the relevant business and manufacturing processes. Moreover, although the implementation of the RoHS directive is based on the EU legislation, the requirements have to be met on a globale scale.

Another challenge is monitoring other versions of RoHS for products marketed in non-EU countries and states, e.g. California RoHS (SB20), China RoHS /ACPEIP), Korea RoHS, or Turkey RoHS.
