RoHS is a mandatory standard established by EU legislation, formally known as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. It regulates materials and manufacturing processes for electronic and electrical products to promote health and environmental protection.
The ROHS directive applies to the following regions:
EU Member States (27 countries): France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Ireland, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Cyprus, Hungary, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania, and the United Kingdom (which exited the EU in 2016).
ROHS directives cover a wide range of products, including nearly all electronic and electrical products and their raw materials:
1. Large household appliances
2. Small household appliances
3. IT and telecommunications equipment
4. Consumer equipment
5. Lighting equipment
6. Electrical and electronic tools
7. Toys, leisure, and sports equipment
8. Medical devices
9. Monitoring and control instruments (including industrial ones)
10. Automatic dispensers
11. Other categories not listed above
