RoHS = Restriction of Hazardous Substance Directive
Where the symbol RoHS appears, the product meets the requirements set by the European RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) up to and including amendment (EU 2015/863), to the best of our knowledge.
The RoHS Directive aims to prevent the risks posed to human health and the environment related to the management of electronic and electrical waste.
It does this by restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in EEE [electrical and electronic equipment] that can be substituted by safer alternatives. These restricted substances include heavy metals, flame retardants or plasticizers.
The Directive promotes the recyclability of EEE, as EEE and its components that have become waste contain fewer hazardous substances. At the same time, it ensures a level playing field for manufacturers and importers of EEE in the European market.
