What is RoHS certification?

RoHS certification is a mandatory standard established by EU legislation. Its full name is Restriction of Hazardous Substances.

The RoHS certification standard was officially implemented on July 1, 2006. It is mainly used to regulate the material and process standards of electronic and electrical products to make them more beneficial to human health and environmental protection. The purpose of this standard is to eliminate six substances in electrical and electronic products, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (Note: the correct Chinese name of PBDE refers to polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers is an incorrect term), and it is emphasized that the lead content cannot exceed 0.1%.
