The following is an explanatory article about RoHS.
RoHS 2 is an EU regulation that restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
Many manufacturers involved in electronic components are required to comply with RoHS 2. This article provides an overview of the "RoHS 2 Directive" and the regulated substances.
Various materials are used in wire processing and electronic equipment assembly, such as solder, resin materials, and plastic parts. It is crucial to confirm that these components do not contain substances regulated by RoHS 2 for products shipped to the EU.
RoHS 2 targets the following 10 hazardous substances:
| Target Substance | Permissible Concentration |
|---|---|
| Lead (Pb) | 0.1% |
| Mercury (Hg) | 0.1% |
| Cadmium (Cd) | 0.01% |
| Hexavalent Chromium (Cr⁶⁺) | 0.1% |
| PBB (Polybrominated biphenyls) | 0.1% |
| PBDE (Polybrominated diphenyl ethers) | 0.1% |
| DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP (Phthalates) | 0.1% each |
※ If these substances exceed the standard values, they cannot be sold in the EU market.
RoHS 2 is also one of the requirements for obtaining CE marking. Electronic equipment exported to the EU must demonstrate conformity with RoHS 2 and display the CE mark. It is important to confirm RoHS compliance during the product design stage, including the selection of components and materials.
Complying with RoHS 2 is not just about regulatory compliance. It is also recognized as an initiative for corporate social responsibility (CSR), promoting environmental protection and safety improvement. Furthermore, explicitly stating RoHS compliance in product specifications and on the company website can build customer trust.
RoHS 2 compliance is an unavoidable requirement for global expansion. If you need assistance with material selection or investigating the content of components, please do not hesitate to contact us.
