ROHS, which stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances, ensures the limitation of specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. Introduced in 2003 by the European Union, it promotes safer and environmentally sustainable products

The substances restricted in electrical and electronic equipment include:

  • Lead (Pb)
  • Mercury (Hg)
  • Cadmium (Cd)
  • Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+)
  • Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
  • Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)
Life-Cycle Impact Assessment of Lead-Free Solder

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted a life-cycle assessment (LCA) of lead-free solder versus tin-lead solder used in electronic products. The results revealed that lead-free solder alternatives generally score better in toxicity categories, making them a safer choice for human health and the environment. This has encouraged industries to adopt processes and products with reduced environmental impact, energy consumption, and toxic releases

How to Implement ROHS in Industries

To effectively implement ROHS standards, organizations should follow these steps:

  • Identify risks in the process chain.
  • Analyze each stage of operations.
  • Pinpoint operations that deviate from compliance.
  • Eliminate the causes to reduce risks
  • Document processes thoroughly
  • Ensure employee participation
  • Review systems for effectiveness
  • Take corrective actions for any non-conformities
Labeling Requirements

While ROHS does not mandate specific product labeling, many manufacturers adopt compliance marks to minimize confusion. These may include:

  • "ROHS Compliant" labels
  • Green leaves, check marks, or "PB-Free" symbols
  • The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) logo, featuring a crossed-out trash can
  • China ROHS labels (a lowercase "e" in a circle with arrows)
Benefits of ROHS Compliance
  • Reduction in hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment
  • Minimization of risks to people and the environment
  • Enhanced consumer trust and confidence.
  • Contribution to a healthier and sustainable environment
