ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances): With the rise in electronic waste and the use of hazardous materials like radium and low-melting-point lead-tin alloys since the early 21st century, awareness of their harmful effects was initially limited. People were unaware of the dangers posed by these substances, which had significant health and environmental impacts, leading to serious health issues such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. In response to these dangers, the European Union introduced the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive in February 2003 to regulate and limit the use of hazardous materials.
Helps avoid costs associated with removing hazardous substances from production processes, assembly, and storage areas.
Non-compliance can lead to substantial penalties imposed by the European Union's regulatory body for RoHS violations, including fines of up to €1 million or 2% of the total annual turnover.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Labor (OSHA) have also begun enforcing environmental regulations that require RoHS compliance.
