RoHS compliant means a product meets the standards set by the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. This European Union directive restricts the use of specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment.
The directive focuses on substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and certain flame retardants. Manufacturers must ensure their products meet these limits to protect human health and the environment.
An RoHS compliant business ensures safer products by reducing harmful materials. It also supports recycling efforts by limiting hazardous waste. Companies displaying RoHS certification demonstrate commitment to environmental sustainability and regulatory standards. View our Accreditations page for more details.
