ROHS

The European Union’s RoHS Directive stands for “the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.” This Directive bans the placing on the EU market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium, as well as flame retardants polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE).
