What is the European ROHS directive?
Directive 2011/65/EU +2015/863/EU known as RoHS III (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) defines the rules regarding the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), with the aim of contributing to the protection of human health and the environment, including the proper recovery and disposal of EEE waste.
This legislation gives specific guidance on the limit of use of the following substances in electrical and electronic equipment:
- Lead (Pb) – 0.1% MCVs
- Mercury (Hg) – 0.1% MCVs
- Cadmium (Cd) – 0.01% MCVs
- Chromium VI (Cr VI) – 0.1% MCVs
- Polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) – 0.1% MCVs
- Polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDEs) – 0.1% MCVs
- Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) – 0.1% MCVs
- Benzylbutylphthalate (BBP) – 0.1% MCVs
- Dibutylphthalate (DBP) – 0.1% MCVs
- Diisobutylphthalate (DIBP) – 0.1% MCVs
The maximum concentration values allowed are 0.1 percent (1000 ppm). For cadmium, the allowable limit is 0.01% (100ppm) by weight per homogeneous material.
