RoHS directive

   
 
The RoHS Directive and the UK RoHS regulations came into force in July 2006. It covers "the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment".  
RoHS bans the introduction of new electrical
and electronic equipment to the EU market containing higher than agreed levels of such hazardous substances.
The hazardous substances and their maximum
allowed concentrations as defined under RoHS
are listed below:
