What is RoHS and WEEE?

RoHS and WEEE are European Union (EU) Directives for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and for restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS). Among other things, these directives restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment shipped in to the EU as of July 1, 2006. The substances identified by the WEEE Directive as hazardous are:

• Cadmium
• Mercury
• Hexavalent Chromium
• Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
• Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)
• Lead (Pb)

The restrictions do not call for the total elimination of these substances but set an upper limit based upon weight. Pb content in lead plating or solder balls must be less than 0.1% by weight of solder.
