"DIRECTIVE 2002/95/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment"

or Restriction of Hazardous Substances for short.

Thanks a lot.

My brother once asked me what Hazmat meant. That one I knew.

RoHS restricts the amount of lead and other hazardous substances in electronic and electromechanical products placed on the market in Europe effective July 1, 2006.

While much media attention has focused on getting the lead (Pb) out of electronic products, RoHS also restricts five other hazardous substances, including mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (CR6/CR(VI)), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PDBE).
