RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC

RoHS, also known as Lead-Free, stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. RoHS, also known as Directive 2002/95/EC, originated in the European Union and restricts the use of six hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products. All applicable products in the EU market after July 1, 2006 must pass RoHS compliance. RoHS impacts the entire electronics industry and many electrical products as well.

RoHS specifies maximum levels for the following six restricted materials:

•Lead (Pb): < 1000 ppm

•Mercury (Hg): < 100 ppm

•Cadmium (Cd): < 100 ppm

•Hexavalent Chromium: (Cr VI) < 1000 ppm

•Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB): < 1000 ppm

•Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE): < 1000 ppm

PHT provides a RoHS declaration seeing the statements made by the producers of raw materials and does not transform any material that would not be accompanied by a RoHS statement
