What is RoHS standard

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

The purpose of this standard is to eliminate lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in electrical and electronic products (note: the correct Chinese name of PBDE refers to polybrominated diphenyl ethers, which is a false statement ) A total of 6 substances, with emphasis on cadmium content not exceeding 0.01%.
