RoHS refers to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances, a directive (EU 2011/65/EU) from the European Union on limiting the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. All such appliances are required to comply with this directive. Products intended for distribution in European countries, as well as the United States, Japan, and Korea, must meet the RoHS standards, which have been mandatory since July 22, 2019.
The RoHS II directive specifies restrictions on 10 types of hazardous substances:
1. Cadmium (Cd) not exceeding 100ppm
2. Hexavalent (Cr-VI) not exceeding 1000ppm
3. Lead (Pb) not exceeding 1000ppm
4. Mercury (Hg) not exceeding 1000ppm
5. Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) not exceeding 1000ppm
6. Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) not exceeding 1000ppm
7. Diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) not exceeding 1000ppm
8. Butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP) not exceeding 1000ppm
9. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) not exceeding 1000ppm
10. Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) not exceeding 1000ppm
