Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
Supplier Requirement Please provide a declaration stating compliance to current RoHS directive standards. If necessary list the nonconforming item numbers, the chemical, and its concentrations.
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive aims to restrict certain hazardous substances commonly used in the manufacture of various types of electronic and electrical equipment, which links it with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) 2002/96/EC. The hazardous substances under RoHS, which any RoHS-compliant component is tested for, are lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr^8+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP). The maximum permitted concentrations of these substances in products subject to RoHS compliance are 0.1% or 1000 parts-per notation (ppm) by weight, besides cadmium, which is 0.01% or 100 ppm. Businesses that sell applicable or electronic products, equipment, sub-assemblies, cables, components or spare parts directly to RoHS-directed countries, or sells to resellers, distributors or integrators that in turn sell products to these countries, are impacted if they utilize any of these (10) restricted substances.
