RoHS
RoHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. Some of the substances used in electrical engineering are considered hazardous to the environment. Above certain quantities, they have a toxic effect or cannot be broken down by the environment, or only with difficulty. The aim of the RoHS directives is to ban problematic components from electronic waste. Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2) replaced its predecessor Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS 1) on 3 January 2013. Both directives are unofficially abbreviated to RoHS. (All information without guarantee)
