*The following is an explanatory article about RoHS.
Did you know that there are restrictions on the amount of hazardous substances that can be used in electronic devices?
Bottom line: RoHS 2 is an EU regulation that restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
Many manufacturers of electronic components are being asked to comply with RoHS 2.
This article provides an overview of the RoHS 2 Directive and introduces the restricted substances.
When it is necessary to check the substances contained in soldered parts or resin materials
A variety of materials are used in the processing of electrical wires and the assembly of electronic devices, including solder, resin materials, and plastic parts.
Verifying that these parts do not contain substances restricted by RoHS 2 is extremely important when shipping products to the EU.
RoHS 2 covers 10 hazardous substances , including:
| Target substances | Permissible concentration |
|---|---|
| Lead (Pb) | 0.1% |
| Mercury (Hg) | 0.1% |
| Cadmium (Cd) | 0.01% |
| Hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺) | 0.1% |
| PBB (polybrominated biphenyls) | 0.1% |
| PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) | 0.1% |
| DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP (phthalates) | 0.1% each |
If any of these substances are present in a product above the permitted limits, it cannot be sold on the EU market .
When CE marking is required
RoHS 2 is also one of the requirements for obtaining CE marking .
Electronic equipment exported to the EU must be certified as conforming to RoHS 2 and must bear the CE mark.
It is important to check RoHS compliance when selecting parts and materials to be used from the product design stage onwards.
RoHS compliance contributes to environmental protection and increased corporate credibility
RoHS 2 compliance is more than just regulatory compliance.
It is also highly regarded as a corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative that addresses environmental protection and safety improvements.
In addition, clearly stating that a product complies with RoHS in its product specifications and on its website will also help to gain customer trust.
