The Restriction of Hazardous Substances, also known as RoHS, restricts the use of certain hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic equipment. This EU directive places allowable threshold limits on a number of substances, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and four different phthalates (DEHP, BBP, BBP, DIBP). Restrictions on using these hazardous materials protect the environment and workers exposed to these substances during manufacturing.
