RoHSkompatibel

RoHSkompatibel refers to a product that complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, commonly known as RoHS. This European Union directive aims to reduce the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The RoHS directive was implemented to minimize the environmental impact of electronic waste and to protect human health from harmful substances. The directive restricts the use of six specific hazardous substances: lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). Products that meet the RoHS standards are marked with the RoHS logo, indicating that they are free from these hazardous substances. Compliance with RoHS is mandatory for all electrical and electronic equipment sold within the European Union. Manufacturers must ensure that their products do not contain any of the restricted substances in quantities exceeding the specified limits. RoHS compliance is not only a regulatory requirement but also a commitment to environmental sustainability and public health.
