RoHS is a mandatory standard set by the EU legislation, its full name is (Restriction of Hazardous Sudstances in the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment) .This standard has been in July 1, 2006 Began to formally implement, mainly for the standardization of electrical and electronic products, materials and process standards, to make it more beneficial to human health and protection. The purpose of this standard is to eliminate six substances of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and brominated polyphenylene oxides in motor and electronic products. The RoHS and WEEE directives
The EU Parliament and the European Commission issued the (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) (WEEE Directive) and the (Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment) (the RoHS Directive) on February 13, 2003 (Official Gazette) instruction)

1. changed the wording of the law and clarified the scope and definition of the directive;
2. The introduction of the product's CE mark and EC declaration of conformity;
