ROHS CERTIFICATION
About RoHS Certification
RoHS is the acronym used to refer to the European Union (EU) Directive 2002/95/EC on the Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in Metals and materials.
In 2002 European Parliament approved two directives related to the reduction of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS). The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulation (WEEE) Directive aims to regulate the reuse, recycling and recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipment; the ultimate goal is to prevent the disposal of this waste.
In the RoHS Directives, the use of the fore mentioned substances in most electrical and electronic equipment are banned or restricted.
