RoHS - Introduction and Key Updates on Legislations

European Union (EU) Directives have restricted the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment for more than a decade. Originally issued in 2002, EU Directive 2002/95/EC (also known as the RoHS Directive) restricted the use of the six chemicals lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium, as well as flame retardants polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated dipheny ethers (PBDEs). Under the RoHS Directive, manufacturers are required to replace these chemicals in their products with less hazardous alternatives.

Join our complimentary webinar, as our expert practitioner touches upon the introduction of RoHS legislations and delves into the key updates, which are essential for companies who wish to sell electronic equipment in the EU market. Further understand how a robust RoHS  testing procedure can help identify hazardous substances in your product and supply chain.
