RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is an EU directive restricting the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. It requires manufacturers to eliminate or significantly reduce substances that pose risks to health and the environment, especially during disposal: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB and PBDE, plus four phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP) added by Delegated Directive (EU) 2015/863, often called RoHS 3. RoHS compliance is mandatory for placing products on the EU market and is indicated by proper labeling. In the electronics industry – including displays, PCBs, controllers, cables, and connectors – RoHS is one of the fundamental ecological and quality standards.
