RoHS

The RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive regulates the amount of 6 banned substances in electrical and electronic products sold in Europe. As such, it could have an extreme economic impact on companies exporting to the European market. As a manufacturer, serious fines and damage to brand reputation may occur. As a component supplier to a manufacturer, market share may be lost to compliant suppliers. For global companies, the potential impact is expanded by the multitude of additional, new environmental regulations being adopted worldwide, such as China RoHS.
