With the RoHS directive published in European Union countries, the use of harmful substances in electrical and electronic devices has been restricted. The RoHS directive requires that no hazardous or hazardous elements or chemicals are used in electrical and electronic products or used within the limits shown. Since 2003, all electrical and electronic devices have restricted the use of the elements and chemicals mentioned in the directive. In this way, it is aimed to protect human health and natural environment.
Although the RoHS directive has been published for the European Union countries, it has been accepted all over the world and the manufacturers all over the world are trying to comply with these directive principles. Because it is not possible to send electrical devices which do not provide this conformity to European Union countries.
On the other hand, 2008 in our country, the Regulation on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment is published based on the said directive. This aspect is known briefly as EEE Regulation. Companies producing electrical and electronic goods receive services from independent and impartial inspection and inspection bodies to prove that their products conform to this standard.
The following are the elements of the RoHS tests whose names and maximum values are allowed:
- Lead (Pb): percent 0.1 ppm
- Mercury (Hg): percent 0.1 ppm
- Cadmium (Cd): percent 0.01 ppm
- Plus 6 chrome (Cr6 +): percent 0.1 ppm
- Polybrominated biphenyl (PBB): percent 0.1 ppm
- Polybrominated biphenyl ether (PBDE): percent 0.1 ppm
The electrical devices that use these elements are dangerous for both the natural environment and human health. If these elements have to be used, they must be at least within the specified limits.
The electrical and electronic devices to be tested for RoHS include: large household appliances, small appliances, computer technologies and telecommunications articles, consumer goods, lighting devices (including bulbs and chandeliers), electrical and electronic devices, toys, recreational and sports equipment, medical devices, monitoring and control instruments, automatic distributors and other electrical and electronic equipment not covered by these categories.
