RoHS compliance, or the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances Directive, is a regulation issued by the European Union to protect the environment and humans from certain hazardous substances. These regulations apply to all electronic/electrical equipment distributors and must be met within the EU. In this article, I will introduce the meaning of RoHS, compliance requirements, impacts, and how to ensure sellers' compliance.

It prohibits the use of certain chemicals in the manufacturing of electronic/electrical equipment, including lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).
