EU’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive is a regulatory framework aimed at limiting the use of specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. Enforced since 2006, the directive restricts substances like lead, mercury, cadmium, and certain flame retardants to protect human health and the environment. Products within the EU that fall under this directive must comply with these restrictions to be legally sold, ensuring safer disposal and recycling of electronic waste. Non-compliance can result in penalties and the removal of products from the market.
