Rohs - Restriction of Hazardous Substances

It does this by restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in EEE that can be substituted by safer alternatives. These restricted substances include heavy metals, flame retardants, or plasticizers.

The Directive promotes the recyclability of EEE, as EEE and its components that have become waste contain fewer hazardous substances. At the same time, it ensures a level playing field for manufacturers and importers of EEE in the European market.

Producers who comply with these principles and wish to create a competitive advantage for themselves by applying to a certification body RoHS Certificate demand. Having this certificate of course adds a lot of value to the manufacturers.
