The Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical
and electronic equipment 2002/95/EC | commonly referred to as the Restriction of Hazardous
Substances Directive or RoHS) was adopted in February 2003 by the European Union. The
RoHS directive took effect on 1 July 2006, and is required to be enforced and become
law in each member state. This directive restricts the use of six hazardous materials
in the manufacture of various types of electronic and electrical equipment. It is closely
linked with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) 2002/96/EC
which sets collection, recycling and recovery targets for electrical goods and is part
of a legislative initiative to solve the problem of huge amounts of toxic e-waste. -
