Update time : 2025-03-06

RoHS is a mandatory standard legislated by the European Union. Its fULl name is the "Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive." The directive aims to limit the use of hazardous substances in the manufacturing of various electronic and electrical products to protect the environment and public health.

 

The scope of RoHS applies to products such as large household appliances, small household appliances, IT and communication equipment, consumer electronics, lighting equipment, electronic and electrical tools, toys, leisure and sports equipment, medical devices, video control equipment, and more. Many of these products come with detailed user manuals, so many manufacturers and brands require strict compliance with RoHS regulations in the paper production processes and raw materials used for the manuals.
