The European Commission issued a directive called Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment to address the problem of environmental pollution caused by electronics. The prohibited compounds are environmentally harmful, pollute landfills, and pose a risk to workers during manufacture and recycling.

What is RoHS(Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive)?

The European Union established the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive in 2003, which went into effect in 2004. The directive restricts the use of six hazardous materials, including lead, cadmium, mercury, and polybrominated diphenyl ether. Polybrominated biphenyls and hexavalent chromium are prohibited in the construction of household appliances, IT and telecommunications equipment, consumer equipment, lighting equipment (including lightbulbs), electronic and electrical tools, toys, leisure and sports equipment, automatic dispensers, and semiconductor devices.
