RoHS - Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances

EU Directive 2011/65/EU serves to restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. It regulates the use and placing on the market of hazardous substances in electrical appliances and electronic components.

Directive 2011/65/EU RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) went into effect on 21 July 2011 and limits the concentrations (weight percent) of six hazardous substances (e.g. the heavy metals lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium) in homogeneous materials.

The list of materials was extended in accordance with Delegated Directive 2015/863/EU dated 31 March 2015, thus limiting additional materials effective on 22 July 2019.

As part of the supply chain in the manufacturing of electrical and electronic equipment, we commit to our customers full compliance with the RoHS Directive. We require compliance with all obligations and the appropriate level of transparency along the entire supply chain.
