About RoHS Certification

ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) certification is a compliance standard that restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products.

The ROHS directive was introduced by the European Union (EU) and came into effect on July 1, 2006. It restricts the use of six hazardous substances in electrical and electronic

ROHS certification is primarily required for products sold or distributed within the European Union. However, its influence has extended globally, as many companies choose to comply with ROHS standards to ensure their products can be sold in various markets around the world. It's important to note that ROHS certification focuses on the restricted substances mentioned above and does not address other environmental aspects, such as energy efficiency or recyclability. Other certifications and standards, such as Energy Star or WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), may cover additional environmental considerations.
