01 — The Foundation

What is RoHS?

The RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive is an EU regulation, initially 2002/95/EC and later updated to 2011/65/EU, that restricts the use of six specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE).

It came into effect on July 1, 2006, requiring all applicable products in the EU market to be compliant. The directive has also been transposed into UK law.

Global PCCS partners with electronics and EEE manufacturers to assess Bills of Material, build compliant processes and replace restricted materials — keeping products ready for the EU and UK markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the RoHS Directive?+

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is an EU regulation, initially 2002/95/EC and later updated to 2011/65/EU, that restricts six hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). It has also been transposed into UK law.

Which six substances does RoHS restrict?+

Lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) — each capped at a maximum concentration value, typically 1000 ppm (100 ppm for mercury and cadmium).

When did RoHS come into effect?+

RoHS came into effect on 1 July 2006, requiring all applicable products placed on the EU market to be compliant with the restricted substance limits.

What is a BOM assessment for RoHS?+

A Bill of Material (BOM) assessment thoroughly reviews your product's components and materials to identify any substances restricted by RoHS regulations, so non-compliant items can be flagged early.

What happens if a material isn't RoHS compliant?+

We help identify and implement compliant alternative materials or components to replace those containing restricted substances, so your products continue to meet RoHS standards.

Do you train internal teams on RoHS?+

Yes — we provide educational sessions on RoHS directives, restricted substances, compliance requirements and best practices, tailored to your engineering and compliance teams.
