The development of modern industry creates a great deal of economical interests, meanwhile lead the increasingly serious environment problem. All the countries promulgate regulations to restrict the harmful matters in industry. EU promulgated Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive （WEEE-2012/19/EU）and The Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous substances in Electnical and Electronic Equipment（RoHS-2011/65/EU）. Prohibition on sale of Electrical and electronic equipments containing Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr(Ⅵ), PBBs, PBDE, phthalates required in this directive.
RoHS 2.0 currently restricts 10 hazardous substances in EEE and they are included in the Annex II of the Directive 2011/65/EU & Directive 2015/863 .
It shall be noted that above maximum concentration values apply to each homogeneous material rather than a product or a part itself. A homogeneous material means material of uniform composition throughout that cannot be mechanically separated into different materials.
The international community and transnational enterprises have made a move. Environmental protection, environment management, green supply chain management are coming into being a great international trend. To every enterprises in the supply chain of Electrical and electronic equipment, it is an immediate necessity to select and produce the raw material and productions of hazard free and satisfying every customer.
With the rapid spread of digitization, the world's production of electrical and electronic devices is exploding. Besides mobile devices, think about the coming wave of IoT, smart home assistants, robots, drones, 3D printers, and home medical devices to all corners of the planet....they are all regulated under RoHS.
EU RoHS specifies maximum levels for the following 10 restricted substances.
Cadmium (Cd): < 100 ppm
Lead (Pb): < 1000 ppm
Mercury (Hg): < 1000 ppm
Hexavalent Chromium: (Cr VI) < 1000 ppm
Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB): < 1000 ppm
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE): < 1000 ppm
Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP): < 1000 ppm
Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP): < 1000 ppm
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP): < 1000 ppm
Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP): < 1000 ppm
