European Union REACH and RoHS
The RoHS legislation seeks to restrict certain hazardous substances from electrical and electronic equipment made or imported into the European Union. This helps protect workers and the environment, especially during recycling of electronic goods.
The REACH legislation creates a Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs). These are substances considered to have very serious effects on human health and the environment. Substances are included on this Candidate List after a formal nomination procedure. If an SVHC substance is contained in an article above 0.1% w/w, it may trigger additional obligations for companies importing the article into the European Union.
