The directive 2011/65/EU, published in the European Union countries and known as the ROHS directive, as amended by the directive 2015/863/EU, aims to contribute to the protection of human health and the environment, including environmentally friendly recycling and waste disposal. and sets out rules on the restriction of the use of dangerous substances in electronic equipment.

Directive 2011/65/EU prohibits the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market. The annex of the said directive contains a list of these restricted substances (Annex II). In fact, this list has been updated with the directive 2015/863/EU. Accordingly, in the last case, the RoHS restricted substances and their threshold values are as follows:
Devices used in homes and workplaces, such as phones, computers, tablets, TV sets, game consoles, and smart kitchen appliances, consist of hundreds of components and thousands of chemicals. Some of the chemicals in electronics are toxic. For example, heavy metals, flame retardants, antistatic agents, or plasticizers. But the real problem is the level of exposure to these substances. If these devices are used as intended, exposure is very low. However, some dangerous chemicals, such as certain phthalates and flame retardants, are released into the air from electronic devices. These make the environment toxic. The RoHS directive aims to prevent all exposures.
