RoHS is a product certification which lays down restrictions of the hazardous substance in electrical and medical equipment to assist protection to the environment and health in EU (European Union).

RoHS forbids the use of hazardous substance during the time of manufacture. RoHS encourages organizations to take safety measures during the time of manufacturing to avoid wastage of resources and usage of the hazardous substance.

The hazardous substance in the equipment could be eliminated during waste management process which could impede many human and environmental hazards. By following the guidelines laid by RoHS, equipment manufacturing firms verify the safety of their products also gaining consumer trust. RoHS also features measures to prevent the hazardous substance from entering the products later in life.

RoHS is extending its restrictions to the new category of equipment arising in EU. It had made a fair contribution to increasing market share of European Union and providing an opportunity for fair trade. All types of businesses, except distributors, will have to keep relevant compliance documentation for a minimum of 10 years.

RoHS restricts the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacture of various types of electronic and electrical equipment.

• lead (Pb)
• mercury (Hg)
• hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI))
• polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
• polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)

The directive applies to equipment as defined by a section of the WEEE directive which includes Consumer equipment, large household appliance, small household appliances, lighting equipment, toys, leisure and sports equipment, electronic and electrical tools, medical devices, IT and telecommunication equipment, automatic dispenser and monitoring and control instruments. All the sectors need to adhere to the requirements of RoHS to achieve the certificate.
